Almost makes me wish I lived in Bendigo at this time of year. BTW, I won't be able to run your event at Kooyoora on the 17th, stuck in Melbourne at a seminar, but am wondering if I could get hold of a map from you and go out there on the Monday?
Certainly can get you a map, but might be wise to read everybody else's AP log of the event before you commit, to see if it is worth doing :)
It will probably come down to whether I can manage to fly with only hand luggage, in which case I wouldn't be able to pack my spikes :(
