Hey Brett - are you thinking of coming after all? That would be so excellent! Would you be with or without Wakana?

You stayed at Margaret's last time, didn't you. I imagine that might be possible again to start with. Then you could come down to Canberra with one of us. John's going down in his van on the Wednesday 23rd, and taking Sandra. He might be able to take another person, but I'm not sure. I'm going on the Thursday and taking freda. John and I both have vehicles we have only had for a short time, which we have never taken camping, so we are not sure of their carrying capacity. My back seat goes down in two halves, so I mght be able to keep half up and take another person. There would also be other people going in cars, but I don't know their situation. There is also a train, if all else fails.

The festival starts on Thursday 24th. I'm not sure if you'd be into camping, which is what most of us do. If not, there are motels and such nearby. I'm not sure of the details, or if there is still accommodation available at them. At this stage, they could very well be booked out. There are also a couple of people we know who live in Canberra, and it might be possible for you to be billetted.

I imagine you might already have a passport, but I'm not sure about the visa situation - how long you could stay and how quickly you could get one. Others might know more.

It would be great if we can make this work!
