preeman80 · 12-01-2004, 10:41 PM

oooh im there already.. my bad. :wink:

bRaDiNhO · 12-01-2004, 11:55 PM

Ok Iguana Joes is open on weekends for lunch. It is just a bistro and pub literally sitting on the water. Drinks ok prices, food above average for bistro. BUT parlking is very limited on site. Would be best to keep cars within reasonable distance especially for those with $$$$ of gear inside! I still propose the Haven at Terrigal. Parking will be fine, and good photo ops. Only fish and chip shop available there, with walk round to main bit. Parking at Terrigal will be otherwise VERY hard. Pie in the sky parking will be fine, theres heaps of space round the back where not many ppl are, akthough tables may be difficult.

Kitty - what do u mean where is Thornleigh Maccas. Its the Australian heart of the American Embassy (maccas......). And i live there

For those from canberra, u need to go onto Cumberland highway once in Sydney. Take JAmes Ruse Dr onto Pennant Hills Rd, follow it all the way to Thornleigh. It'll be on your left hand side - just loop around the back once you drive past. There is a big Bunnings next to it- you turn there. 2 servos just up the road, so can gas up b4hand there.

Ah wat else...

Personal preference is Pac Hwy up there. Will be less crowded and I have to leave by about 1 anyway. CAn take th F3 back to Syndey or Wisemans Ferry route if you prefer the long scenic drive. Meeting time at 9:30 is good, say for about 9:45 dept. I would be there at 9 to watch ya all rock up. :wink:

There is a coastal road from Gosford up to The Entrance its ok. Nothing special tho... but get to crusie thru the burbs rather than up inland rd. A couple of sets of lights, but generally roundabouts.

Hope this helps.

Heh depart in 15mins.... you need to come on more cruises

Allow at least 30mins for people to think about leaving and stop chinwagin. Id allow an hour

If mal gets his car fixed b4 then ill ride with him (mmm boost) otherwise Dazz loves me.

KittyKatSmack · 13-01-2004, 04:45 PM

er....

are we still landing in Newcastle???

Why not have lunch there then!

Beaches Hotel has nice views across the water (can book tables) or go to the Brewery! Everyone goes to the Brewery!!!

Blue Water Pizza has gourmet pizza's that kick ass!

If we are only going to halfway point, has anyone been in touch with Toyboy to see if he is coming down to meet us halfway?

Either way, Shads and I are going on up to Newcastle before the shops shut to go to Frontline!!!!!

That place r0><0rs!!!

9am at Thornleigh, unless we stay at Albion Park (thanks for the offer Odd Rod) that means leaving Canberra before 6am EEEEEEEEP!!!!!

Well TwoJays and ABC, what do you say? A slumberparty in Wollongong? Catch up with Sik Mik and Leanne and keep Odd Rod's son scared all night????

:twisted:

platypus · 13-01-2004, 08:06 PM

i was figuring lunch at tezza, and then dinner, on the central coast (if you like)

platypus · 13-01-2004, 08:06 PM

Andrew_SP20 · 13-01-2004, 08:30 PM

KittyKatSmack · 13-01-2004, 09:25 PM

SH!T THATS A LOT OF PEOPLE ON THIS CRUISE!!!!

WELL DONE ASTINAGT!!!!!!!!!!

*goes off like a frog in a sock*

Critter · 13-01-2004, 09:45 PM

I'll get in touch with TDK too.

Awesome list

I have a work "retreat" whatever that is in Bowral on the Sunday/Monday too.
Plenty k's there that weekend.....

TwoJays · 13-01-2004, 09:54 PM

Geez, this is sounding absolutely sweet team

Great work...

My odds have shortened greatly, 'cause I'm definitely not on call... almost definite...there's still a small chance I'll have to work, but it's _very_ small... that is of course providing I still have a job after tomorrows discussion about the ramifications of our upcoming company merger... :shock:

So, count me in at this stage (but don't be surprised with an 11th hour withdrawal)... I have absolutely no idea what any of you are talking about in terms of roads and stuff, so I'll just follow the lead! And I'll see what I can do about a radio.

KKS/Odd Rod: Slumber party in Wollongong sounds like a great plan! It'll probably be both myself and Bek.... as long as someone can lead me there ...

Lantis: There's always a couple of spare seats in JJ-024 if all else fails...

platypus · 13-01-2004, 10:15 PM

yup, absoluoutley!!!< i'll try to grab another CB, but i cannot promise.....
i have UHF... if you don't have one, now is a great time to invest, they are cheap as chips now!!! (about $50-80)

KittyKatSmack · 13-01-2004, 10:25 PM

I have no money for CB but I do know the way to Rods place in Albion Park!

*ponders if she can get the radios from work, snigger snigger*

*mental pic: sarge, need to borrow some radios for the weekend, don't ask whatfor!*

:lol:

Laser the Amazer · 13-01-2004, 11:25 PM

looking at the numbers our best bet would be the bunnings next to the maccas

has a bigger carpark and looks like we will need it from going off that list

oh and I fluke it again :P

being almost on the doorstep of the meet point lol

only a 15min drive max to thornleigh for me from my place at carlingford

cant believe how many people are on the list

Robert
