will be around 10-12 degrees all weekend. Not that bad if the suns out. Also looks like it wont get into the minus zone over the weekend so no frost. was freezing a few weeks ago but the last week has been pretty mild

Monaro Models and Hobbies are the sponsor for the event and they are 5 mins up the road in Fyshwick and are open sat 10-4 and sun 10-2. Not sure what the tire stocks are like though.

just go to a climbing shop, outdoors shop etc. and get some thermals. I have my long sleeve thermal top from a motorcycle store only cost me $15.00 and it keeps me all warm and toasty!
