O'Reilly's rainforest minimeet

[Finch]

A fantastic weekend.

Great to meet a heap of new people which you be able to see more clearly IF I HAD FOCUSED THE LENS :oops:

And of course a big, big thanks to Michael for, firstly suggesting the meet and then showing us some of the best country in the world. Well done Mate. :up:

No worries, mate and thanks for all your help plus offering a lift and back.

Cheers

Michael

ps - don't worry about the focus on group pic. You can still see who was there, eh?

Pleny have passed on their sincere thanks Finch. I'm certainly not going to be left out. It was a great meet with some great people at a great place. Your knowledge of the area, access to special places and co-ordination of the event made it sensational. Diana and I say thanks for all your effort, and to everyone else that made the day so enjoyable.

I must also pass on a special thanks to Slider for the terrific soup and "home like" camping luxury that he let us share in.

Cheers,

Big ups to Finch for organising a great day in the mountains and to all the forum members who let me look through their cameras and ask questions while they were concentrating on setting up their next shot.

I think we were all very lucky to have access to some of the 4Wd trails normally off limits to the public and I'm glad I had the chance to capture some of the scenes.

Thanks for driving Geoff!

I know a lot of them but how about some names to caption the pic, Mike?

Here's a list of the punters at the minimeet, as requested.

From back left : Slider (Mark), Spooky and his wife (Brett and Corinne), Mark, Matt, BobG with 'head-piece" and his wife Marylin behind with sunnies, GeoffM, Jonas behind in green t-shirt, your's truly with beanie, Bernie (Big Pix), JordanP (Craig) with Diana.

Thanks for the kind words Craig and yes, Slider sure does the camping bit in style!

Thanks for the names on the group shot Mike. I hope many were able to take advantage of Birdy's generous sale offers as a result of their attendance.

i did ... have a 4gb card on its way

almost makes the 3 hour drive there and back [with a few minutes up there to meet everyone] worthwhile

Big thanks to Michael and Mark for organising the day and thanks also to Geoff for driving us around all day.

Looking forward to my next one.

Corinne and I had a great day, thanks to all the organisers and participants. I tried to post some pics but pixspot doesn't seem to work to link images to a post anymore.

A couple of images of the group. My favourite is of Bernie, who in the deepest, darkest depths of Lamington National Park, found a table, whipped out his laptop and started uploading his images. If he had found a wireless connection I reckon he would have posted a few in the Image Reviews section of this forum.
