Forecast for here and my choice of paths South has been OK all week but ..
"possible showers" are now certain together with "thunderstorms, morning and afternoon, possibly severe"

and they under-predicted the 85mm dumping we had yesterday ..

Packing the bike right now but will see what the morning brings

I'm still getting underway about 10am tomorrow with a tarp or two,
Charlie's Euro forecaster gives me a reasonable trip but with plenty of rain
for here after I've left.
Will setup camp at the same spot as the photos.

Wouldn't count on it. There is some reasonable accommodation available but lots of places already booked up. Who would think it? When there is no snow!

Discovery Holiday Parks - Jindabyne

Plenty cabins to share for about $50 a head. Just note it for a Plan-B.

We'll be fine with a little creative tarpistry and a crackling fire. Probably even have undercover parking.

Bring yer dancing shoes.

The rain will most likely be thunder storms with only an inch or two in each shower.
