Haven't found Bill and Lesley's site yet although we saw them last night at the show tent, might get a number next time I catch up with Bill. Need to put my hiking boots on to get to Bill & May's bus as we are as far away from the centre as they could get us..... obviously my reputation preceded me :lol:
Everyone I've spoken to so far says they are coming to my first talk on lithium batteries, that will be interesting as they have scheduled it for a tent with seating for around 20 or so, might have to get there early so I can get in :roll: I need to find transport for the batteries etc as well, it's a 2 coffee trip one way from our site to the venue and no way I'm carrying 3 x 120Ah AGM batteries and the demo lithium batteries as well as the solar panels that far, I'd spill my coffee.

It is a big site, supposed to be over 1,000 people here and the show tent last night was packed and the week-end trippers don't arrive to Thursday/Friday so it's gunna be mega full by then. If last night is an example of the talent level it will be a great week, an extremely funny ventriloquist come singer/entertainer by the name of Darren Carr put on at least 2 hrs of non stop entertainment and laughs.
Funny how unplanned site placement works, we are next to people from the Lake Illawarra area and opposite the site where Doug & Jackie will be when they arrive, the people near opposite are good friends of theirs so sited side by side.

Trailer is hanging on the hook Jon, I told them I would not take it off so they made a longer site.
It has 1000 watts of solar and 200 ltrs of water so was not going to let that get away. And the washing machine which is doing a load as I type.

Well T1's battery talk was good a full house for it. :geek: :geek:
Great festival, lots of people with uke's but don't know which one is Lance. :?:
One food seller pulled out last night the competition was too great from Ed's Kitchen [was disheartening for them as the line from Ed's went in a big curve in front of their food van]. :x
Graham & Janine's [ACE Coffee van] [HWW] doing great. :D :D
Hwy Wanderers Happy hour was musical [13 musical instruments playing at one time]. 8-)
**** Next years Stone the Crows WILL BE here at the same venue but two days later [so still over Easter]. :)
World championships of Clay Pidgeon Shooting finish on the Tuesday. :roll: :roll:
