Er Arh, are reprobate old blokes allowed to come too?  :'(  I may even drive down and can provide a very nice Limousine service for any who may require transport. (Newcastle to Sydney) $2.50/person Providing a seniors or concession card are possessed and sighted before entering. :o
Lollies free. Umm, call of nature stops are also available at laybys

Nice food and ALL ;D beverages are able to be consumed at (weather permitting) the Botanic Gardens adjacent. Or I do know some nice Pubs that do a very good counter lunch, providing it is one I am allowed into. I do have some lifetime bans still in force. :-X

I will check my diary but I think I am available ::)

Errrr.....  I may take Mr Odd's offer up, if I don't it will only be because I cannot make the MEET.  I will save up my pennies to get the $2.50 bit organised straight away. Of course, I have the Card already, its the pennies that I will be chasing.   Perhaps it will be Neil who will be the first RChatter I meet face to face.  Dee knows that I have been trying to get to meet her for so long, but I am sure she will excuse me for possibly meeting Mr T first.   I could drive across to Morriset and catch the limo there  ;D  ;D.     


Cheers,  JM  (off to look for me penny purse, umm..... where did I last see it .... probably under somewhere on my fh desk.  ::)  ::) )

Many thanks Judith for that kind offer,  I have now found my pennies jar, and I now have sufficient coin on hand to pass up to the driver on boarding the limo.  ;D

What about the tip - I'm sure he will expect one, especially as he is supplying such wonderful private facilities for the comfort stops  :P  Judith

Sounds like some are going to travel in style!   ;D   ;D

Leonie, don't know if I'm going to make Brisbane this trip....and if I do, it certainly won't be in March. Leave here on April 9th on the Indian Pacific. I'll hopefully arrive in Southern Highlands in time for dinner on the 10th. Might need a few days to settle in before gadding about again. I'm planning to be there all of May and all of June.

But....if you could come up with the a good reason for visiting Sydney during that time, it would be wonderful!!!!!

Well, I'm booked in to meet a new great niece who arrives in March. I don't have to be there for the birth, any time after the event will do. I think new babies are much more interesting at about 4-6 weeks, don't you??  :D
