Morning all,

It's 5:30am local time and not even the sun is awake just yet. I'm about to jump in the car for the 3 hour drive into Sydney. Once there, unpack the car, drop the family and drive for 1 hour back to Hurstville for Day 1 of the Australian Continental Championships.

First up is the 1st Edition Continental Championships starting at midday and a 2nd edition warm-up event starting at 6pm. There might even be some Tribbles action along the way.

I'll do my best to keep updates here and on Twitter regular over the next three days.
