Hi Chris. The M8 stack was performed early in the lunch, when there was both
room on the table and steady hands. Some folks were a little concerned about
an M8 falling into a pot of mussels or worse knocking over their beer. We
were very lucky to have Helen there to photograph the stack. Some more views
to be posted soon. Shortly afterwards they were all in constant use with
lenses swapped about and hands waving. Periodically, everyone took a couple
of lenses off the table, which may or may not have been the ones they
started with. It was a fantastic gathering and I could wish to have spent
the whole day each talking with each of the folks who came along. I was the
master beer selector for John Amiet, Alastair and myself and it seemed to
work out deliciously. 
Cheers
Geoff

Wonderful and enjoyable set of Down Under images there Hoppy. However on the

first image with the completely unnecessary display of German engineering, 
what the F is up with just a glass of water in the shot?

Those mussels are awesome looking!

Chris

Folks there are now 34 photos in this gallery. Some around Melbourne and
more from the AusLUG gathering at the Belgian Beer Caf?. We had a lot of fun
as well as some spirited exchanges, not to mention great company, food and
Belgian beers.

Comments are appreciated.



Cheers

Geoff
