40 ( odd ) KM from SPC Cannery outlet in Shepparton to restock the larder  cheap
a water less site ( not dry ) but you can carry  for the weekend

Mandrake and Nada could be a starter from Friday night onwards ..

I'll bring a few cold ones and a couple of reds ..

Oh yeah and a heap of Solar gear if anyone wants to check out the possibilities without
paying up front !!

Now there's a plan ...

Cheers

Sounds Great, BUT, wrong weekend.....  (We really need to free up more weekends)

We'll be heading away on a cruise for our 1st wedding anniversary.

We're sure you'll have a great weekend.
