We won't go north of Sydney on a long weekend, the traffic is murder. We're going south for the Scarecrow Festival at Milton!

Cheers

I'm seriously thinking of coming to Maitland that weekend, and so is a friend of mine, Chrissie. Sounds very fun and relaxing. I'll be taking the hot water bottle and the doona and the winter woolies though.

I would have been going to Albion Park if it hadn't been cancelled. That would have been even colder! Nearly got blown away there last year, as Sandra can attest!
