See you all in Feb...

Same here but maybe 7m

Sarah and I will be down Rest Bay for 12.29pm

Marc it would be useful for some of the other forum members if you could be more specific with timings please, some people have to travel much further to come here.

And... here comes the rain

9.30am (9.30m) high for Rest so will be almost 12 before it’s worth looking I reckon
