It was that time of the year that a few of us have birthdays - and we often go to the Red Rocks for a bushwalk. This year poor weather was forecast for early in the weekend and so we thought a trip with a nice camp cave would be a good choice. So a group of us headed up to the Northern Blue Mts for the weekend. Unformtunatley, some of those with birthdays could not make it this time - but we still celebrated nervertheless.

Party - John, Chuin Nee, Rik, Albert, Su Li, Henry, Col, Mark, Dave
