  Do we have any more??


Barb.

I have just 'acquainted' BATES with the event.  Seems very co-operative.

I'm not sure where she is from, seems like around the Gatton / Laidley area, at a guess!!

Just a hint.

Make sure you tell the Bus Driver, Ticket Seller or whomever -

That

you want to go to the STATE LIBRARY
or to the CULTURAL CENTRE


The Bus Stop is CULTURAL CENTRE
Do NOT  say SouthBank!!!
It's a long walk from that stop

Good advice.  I was there the other week and my sister can't walk far, so we got a taxi from South Bank to the Library hehe..

So yeah make sure you get the right stop to stop the walking..

Looking forward to this too
