There are a few bushwalkers amongst the sandpeople and, as was discussed at the Sandgroptoberfest, it might not be a bad idea to get out on the Bibbulmun Track together sometime. This is just a heads up to see if the interest is still there when we are sober. A rough start might be to propose...

A fair few posters here seem to take bottles on aircraft and I guess some interstate mail goes on aircraft but I don't think luggage holds are pressurised. I don't want to make any formal inquiries and get told I can't do it, so was just wondering if anyone can tell me... Are beer bottles...
