Great idea Vaughan, count me in. The Kurnell sand dunes sure are quiet
at that time though...was it Neddy Smith that had one of his underworld

zuiko-lust turning nasty;-)

PS my partner may or may not be interested in coming along too. If not,
then I can borrow her OM1 for you. Zuiko-wise we're rather poor though,
with only an SC 50/1.8 (plus a 50/1.8 MC with fungus and element
separation, if that counts), 35-70/4 and 35-70/3.5-4.5, and 500/8
between us.
