I definitely won't arrive before Oct. 15 but I might stay until around Nov. 20 or so. Is it likely to be too hot at the end of Nov. or can I still chase the shade?

Sliianna and anyone else-I can give you rides in the region. I might even to to Melbourne once or twice but I doubt it. Probably not further than Horsham. I can pick up people from the bus whenever I go to town as lon gas I know in advance. I don't plan to have a cellphone and will only read email a couple of times each week once I am at Arapiles.

I'd also like to get in a few days at the Grampians, if anyone is interested

My main goal is to do as many 2 and 3 star routes as possible. I like to start early and end before sunset but on a good day I can usually cover 200-300 meters of climbing, sometimes more. I'd rather do more routes at moderate grades than spend a lot of time working routes at my limit. On the other hand, I DO like to wipe myself out once in a while on hard routes, especially if I will take off a day or two to rest!
