The boys did a count last night and think it is 28 campsites but JK should be able to give a total signed in later. This includes a few people who are in tents.
Had rain, wind and small hail last night. Sunny but cool this morning with a lazy wind that goes straight through.

Well there looked like quite a few when we drove past Beautiful Valley CP around 12:30 today. We made a few calls on the UHF but nobody responded. Well no myswaggers responded but some folk from the Octoberfest rally responded. :) We could nnot stop as we needed to get to Broken Hill this afternoon.

Symon, what happens at the meet stays at the meet...only kidding, The uploads are a bit suss and some are having problems, Check Jill's blog as she has been taking lots of pics. Regardless, we will posting some when we get organised.

JK said that 29 swagger plus partners & kids so I guess that there is in excess of 70.

Much better day todays - 4.2c overnight but the BIG campfire kept us warm.

We ended up with 30 campers all up and it was fantastic that so many were able to make it and we could finally put some faces to forum names!!
