And below -
more on the field trip – as at 15th June 2009
I suggest
a warm coat and other warm clothing, and either a waterproof coat or an
umbrella. (See likely weather conditions below).
If it
rains (we are still in a drought in SE Australia) there may be showers, or even
heavy rain, if we are unlucky!
It can
also be windy, as well as cold.
(In fact
in Melbourne we are now having the first good rain for some time, with sunny
periods between, and a forecast temperature of 12 degrees C.)
Travel will be in a
Grenda Coach (up to 57 seats).
Stops may
be short, or long, partly depending on the weather.
And if you have any
special food requirements for the pack lunches, please let me know NOW.
I will be arranging for
meat and also some vegetarian sandwiches or rolls, as well as cakes, drinks and
fruit.
