Hi Robyn,
I am sure there will be a few that won't be able to drink, will have plenty of tea and coffee available, and some soft drinks too.

If it is too difficult for you to grab something re; food, don't panick I am sure there will be plenty of food to cover you.
Else grab something simple from the nearest bakery  ;)

You got the train line sorted - The Dandenong line.  If you need more info please pm me.

Robert and Karon, yes, if you have something interesting (other than a piece of redgum) please do bring it along.   But then again- I am curious, yeah go on, bring the wood with the leather attached.  We all want to know what on earth you're talking about now. ;D

cheers

Aw now I feel really bad, but it just can't be helped.  October/November are just not good months for me to plan anything.   :(

I'm sure a good time will be had by all and can't wait to see and hear how it went.  :D
