The Great Aussie Meetup 2005!

manda · Oct 18, 2004

ive never been past brisbane so anywhere up there would be good.

luckydog · Oct 18, 2004

I was just thinking...What sort of time are we planning for this meet? Is it a weekend? A few days? A week??? This needs to be considered too.
Me, i'm happy to go for any length up to a week.
Might as well get the ball rolling with a suggestion...

SE QLD Hinterland. Inland from the Gold Coast but with heaps of Nat. Parks, little Art and Craft type towns, Driving distance to the coast for some "Vonn" beachy shots

Gold Coast hinterland would probably be fairly good too...

You also have to think of the cost of accomodation...

Would we be camping? How available are camping grounds in each of the places?

But as I said - I don't really mind where we go!

(And hopefully by then - i'll be able to drive - so I might be able to help with the transport... Also - Australia has a fair bit of public transport... So you might not need hire cars)

luckydog · Oct 18, 2004

Depending on numbers, hire cars could be a fairly minimal cost anyway once you split the cost.
I'm up for camping (love roughing it), backpacking (love the communal thing), 5 star (gotta love room service)
If you can't tell i'm very very easy to please.

How bout getting a Britz campervan during their off season? That would be kinda fun! I can get some info on this if you like me to

If we split the costs, it should be reasonable.

ROAD TRIP!!!!

What's the girl/guy ratio for this trip so far????

luckydog · Oct 19, 2004

So far i have us at anywhere between 4 and 9 people. Of course that depends on....
1. The Canadian Govt. Visa Dept (Lumi)
2. Orie and Terri getting sponsors for the trip down.
3. Karalee getting home in time.
4. Floyd being allowed out of Tasmania by the Border Security force. Got to keep the illegals off of the mainland

Then we are left with Manda, Fadingaway, Vonn and yours truly.

Karalee · Oct 19, 2004

If I can make it home(ish) therell prolly be 2 of us - but on the bright side I have lots of family who will let us crash/eat/shower at their places in Brizzy.

vonnagy · Oct 19, 2004

I thinky Duck in Brizzy might be interested as well, i haven't seen him round these parts, so i think i'll pm him.

A DINGO TOOK MY BABY! A DINGO TOOK MY BABY!!

Oops soz. I been off doing a few family things. I'd love an excuse to get the hell outa Qld for a while. Am going to Kiwiland early next year. I vote Melbourne - we can all stay at Lumi's while she is away. Awesome.

Edit: damn you all - I got guilty and voted Qld. I can even put 2 people up if you like. 3 if one roughs it on the fold out bed.

(and no - you may not sleep in my luxury queen bed with me and the missus so don't even ask.)

vonnagy · Oct 19, 2004

Get in line, chica. :wink:

Orie is first on the bum-a-ride list, then me. As it is I still have no pm's on a trip sponsor, so I am feeling very gloomy about this trip. A pity, cause I'd be so much fun. :mrgreen:
