Our trip to Phillip Island is coming up this weekend. Think good thoughts for the weather. We're looking forward to a great weekend.

Please note the following programme is subject to change.

Friday

For those arriving on Friday night, contact James Troi. Please note Karen Malbon, Brian Young and David Male will not be arriving until Saturday.

Weather permitting we might try and make use of the knowledge Alex Cherney shared regarding astrophotography and capture some stars on Friday night.

Saturday

2pm - Meet our local guide Robert McKay at 2pm at the Rhyll Jetty, Beach Rd, Rhyll. There is ample parking in the area and we can arrange car pooling.

Specific photography locations will be determined closer to the day to take into account weather conditions but are likely to include Rhyll, Cowes and Churchill Island.

7.30pm – Dinner at ISOLA DI CAPRI , 2 Thompson Avenue, Cowes. Corner of the Esplanade and the main street. http://www.isoladicapri.com.au/

Sunday
