sorry to here that Andrew. Camel I am sure the directions will let you find it on google maps and you can work it out, your not as dopey as you look apparently!

When the In laws come from Echuca they come thru Dunolly if that helps......

Beyond bringing our own gear/food/bang sticks etc is there anything else that we should bring?

At best I can offer a plinking target for 22.... :|

Is a shooting bench recommended, noting I hate prone shooting (gut gets in the way)?

I'll have to research a quick and nasty bench.

If I turn up you can borrow mine, gorilla foldup work bench from Bunnings with 19mm ply screwed on. They are all the rage. :D

There is a crappy old table we use and at a pinch you could shoot off it. Not ideal

I have a down-date for you mate, sadly you lot that do make it will have to learn to put up with my lack of presence. I know it will be hard to do, but you will just have to get used to the idea that I wont be there. go forth and enjoy yourselves and hopefully there will be another chance to catch up sometime in the future. I am going to try and get to the Chappo-athon when it has been finalised, but like everything in life, it is no certainty. :(
