Mini-Meet in Sydney?

[judb]

It's at 100 Cumberland St, The Rocks cnr Gloucester St.  Googlemap will help you find it, although the exressway is over the top of the street so not 100% sure myself.  However it's just along from the YHA hostel at the Rocks and their website has an excellent map showing how to walk from Circular Quay and Wynyard.

Perhaps Neil will have to sit outside on the footpath (or in the bar) and we can pass things out to him LOL LOL   

Hope the change is ok with everyone - it was looking a bit dodgy to be able to sit and chat at one of the cafes.

Oh, I walked all over that Big Dig where the YHA hostel has now been built. I'll look forward to passing it and seeing the changes. (My daughter in law was one of the archeologists on the site, so I got a special tour and explanations of everything.       )

So, would Circular Quay railway station be the appropriate station to alight for this hotel?

Hi Nell.   

I think the map that Judith posted a link for indicates Wynyard station, although Circular Quay looks just as close. From Wynyard it appears a straight walk....from Circular Quay there'd be more corners to turn.

I'm waiting for Neil's comment.....           


And I agree, Debbie.....that Pavlova sounds wicked!      


Dee   

Hmm

If you go by train the quay is definatly the closest. I hope you all enjoy the meal.

Neil

[deeiluka]

Do you have a problem, Neil?   

Thought you'd be quite happy to go to a pub.   


Dee   

[Neil Todd]

I am there's one down the road a bit

I must have missed something Not unusual I thought we were going to the Library

Neil

[deeiluka]

You're not a problem, surely?        

We were trying to arrange to meet near the library, but it proved too difficult finding somewhere that would take a booking for the number that we are. We were told it would just be "pot luck" re seating. So when Judith found that we could book that room at the Australian Heritage Hotel for no cost, we thought that would solve the problem, as we'd all have somewhere to sit and chat and laugh and enjoy a meal together.

I doubt we'd have spent much time in the library somehow anyway.

Yes, Circular Quay is closer.  Doesn't much matter which station you get off at, though; - there may be some climbing uphill.  And I agree with Dee; there probably won't be much time for Library studies, with that many of us getting together (look out, Sydney!).

Neil, the Library was my initial suggestion as a meeting place, basically because my various-degree-cousins and I have met there in the past.  However, since finding a lunch venue near there was nigh on impossible ... the Australian Heritage Hotel sounds like it might be a better option.
