which way you going gazza. There are 4 camps still at Hinterland club of which 3 are heading to Mildura tomorrow morning. Two are going toward Goondiwindi and down the Newell, the other is going south to Ballina and across from there. So it will be an interesting tale of the different travels down.

only 6 sleeps to go. :biggrin:

cheers

There were 68 archers on the course and at the many and various events today. Many new friends made and old friendships renewed and we still have a day still to go. A nice clear night coming up so it could be a little cool.

A great day.
