No, it`s absolutly normal! I`m exited and unpatient too! Can`t wait tll Sunday! It`ll be something!

I have a really good feeling about that

Me too, but I prefer to make no predictions since it`s too risky... Just hoping it all goes smoothly...

The national weather forecast for Phillip Island is storms an large hail for today with strong winds. Tomorrow rain and Sunday mostly fine.
