iv got the car ready and the gear packed but my mate is in need of a cheapy spinning rod just for the trip, 8ft+ 30lb and only wants to spend $100. so if anyone can help it would be much appreciated.
plus im sure to knock up some sort of a report for guys when im back
cheers Jay

Weather
If you are counting on the last fortnights weather as a benchmark I'd be forgetting it. Whats gone is gone and cannot have any influence on whats to come. Today and yesterday you could probably have seen the reflection of the islands it was that flat and tomorrow is supposed to be around 20 knots S /SW with a bit of cloud building up for the weekend.
This time of the years is usually the best up here but as said before don't put all your eggs in one basket and only bring ballooning gear up.
Besides, we blame you southerners for sending or bringing the crap weather up with you, it doesn't belong here some empty it out of your car and pockets at the 26 parallel so we don't suffer from it.

Having originally come from
Having originally come from carnarvon, I have a basic idea of the weather around this time of yr. Though studying the weather for the past few weeks and the forecasts had given me an understanding of what to expect though I know the wind is completely unpredictable.
But thanks for the advice, ill be sure to not only rely on ballooning for a week long trip

a mate of mine just got back from 3 weeks there. weather was kind most of the trip and apparently the place was going off, landed loads of spanish macks one weighed 19kg so you may be in for some good fishing. enjoy the trip.
