There would be pros and cons for all I realy like Adelaide but Darwin would have some advantages as well, can't see me living in any of them

Enjoy probably not the right word for a war memorial, "appreciate the experience" probably more apt for a shrine to the nations "fallen".

Did the war memorial visit earlier this year, first time since school aged years (so yeh a long time ago :roll: ), humbling was the best I could describe it.

Well worth the visit.

Couple of quick questions re this weekend.

Will we be shooting from a range line etc like Hornsby/ Newcastle shoots or more traditional UK lanes outside?

Also for the site in/warm up in the morning will there be target frames etc so we can check a few ranges?

Yep, and the terrain lends itself to fieldcraft so they'll be plenty of kneeling and standing shots too and none of this namby pamby lying on the floor business :wink:
