The "car boot sale" area was huge:

The undercover area packed:

Lot's of money and boxes changing hands in the flea market.

I bought a dual tone SSB test oscillator, something I need, for $8.
The home brew table was full of excellent projects

including this marvellous receiver from Steven 2BLQ:

Stephen told me that the modules all work - but not together.
My little SSB transmitter in a children's tin lunch box looked pretty funny up against these professional jobs, it was great to participate as always.
Lots of fancy black boxes on display too:

A highlight for me was attending a talk by Jeff Johnson who took it upon himself to walk across Australia from south to north wearing a solar panel, carrying an FT-817, and living mostly on "two minute" noodles.

It was great to look through all the gear, meet up with friends and munch on some cheese cubes once again.
