Guys & Girls,Update.I am hosting a trip briefing and BBQ at my place this Sunday 4pm byo food & drink. 136 Bushwood Follow, Two Rocks WA.So far 6 gyro"s and 15 people indicated that they are flying from Bindoon to Quobba this easter as well as a few others meeting us there from other places in WA.The only thing that will hold us back getting to Quobba is a late cyclone or another freak flood and if this happens then we will just divert to another friendly station!If there are any late starters out there get in touch soon.Adrian0427094552 A/hrs 08 95612979
