Jennie, I also have a (new) Akubra - I bought mine in Bendigo when Dot & I visited the famous Bendigo Hat Shop. Bob waited over 4 months to get his as a special order from the Hat Shop in the Strand arcade (who specialise in Akubras!)

Tangeledwood - I believe there are a contingent of Qlders on the other side of the arena from the session bar. My Vic friends will also be there near them.

If you print a copy of the previous Ozcatters pic you can use it to locate many of us! We tend to congregate in the Singing Sessions at night & afterwards in the stairwell (between the singing session room & the session bar!)
