April 9 or 10th

I am thinking about a really wicked field trip. Possibly head up to the blue mountains and go past BlackHeath and do a bushwalk and Govett's leap. (Avoid the three sisters like the plague!)

In the late avo and evening, down a few tinnies and paint sydney town red :D

What say ye?

This date is coming up quick. I think we all need to be planning where to meet excetera. Vonn, how are you going to come up to Sydney?? Train? Car?

Xmetal

03-13-2005, 05:04 PM

If he has a hire car we'll make sure he gets his money's worth! :twisted: :lol:

Luna Park is good idea
i found that places surround that area, have a lot of photograph oppturnities

p.s. Has anyone been to the Captain Cook's Landing Place?May be it is a good idea for bushwalking...

Hey, thanks for the revived interest! sorry i've been a bit slack about this.
First of all the date - Can we plan this for Sunday April 3rd? I have a friend who can drive me, who might be keen to meet the gang as well. If not, i will take the train from south sydney to meet up with you. Transportation shouldn't be a prob :)

I am very keen on Luna Park, could we perhaps meet there? What time is good for everyone?

so far its
- von
- lucky
- westman
- xmetal

I been have a bugger of a time trying to contact manda - lucky do you think you can try calling her?

Xmetal

03-14-2005, 04:02 AM

I don't think Manda is in the country anymore, Vonny. :(

gonzo

03-16-2005, 10:13 PM

last i talked to manda, she wasn't leaving until april 9, she was quite keen for a meetup too.

All my gear is ready and fixed now!

westman

03-17-2005, 03:43 AM

Okay folks so we're meeting at Luna Park on the 3rd April. How does 0900 hrs sound??? We can go from there to wherever the wind takes us.

gonzo

03-21-2005, 12:11 AM

hahaha, thats sounds ok, might be better to push it an hour later for me! 10 o clock might be a bit more appealing. If everyone who is interested can pm their numbers (I have lucky's and westmans)

luckydog

03-21-2005, 04:28 AM

10am at the big smiley face works for me. I'll be the one with the red long stem rose between my teeth, the skin tight black acid wash jeans, red flannelette shirt, wooley beanie and one thong on.

N.B. Thong as in footwear, not underwear (i'll go commando).

Xmetal

03-21-2005, 05:01 AM

If i can get there i'll be there, it all depends on what i'm doing that weekend.

Lucky are you training it down or driving down?

Side note: i'll probably be wearing my bright orange Autosalon crew shirt, baggy blue jeans and my white K.Swiss shoes. :D (can't miss me in other words) :lol:

03-24-2005, 03:28 AM

I believe Vonn is now in country so I guess I will wait to hear from him sometime next week. I've tried calling Manda but either the phone rings out or I get message bank. It would be cool to see her again, so if your reading Manda, come on down to Sydney!!!Xmetal, if you want a lift down i'm happy to oblige but i wont be having a late one. Most likely leave late in the arvo so i can get my stuff organised for work on Monday.

Where has Manda been anyway. I was starting to think she fell off of the face of the earth.

luckydog

03-29-2005, 12:18 AM

If you believe the weather man it should be fine and mid 20's on Sunday. Nice for our gathering.
There's a story attached to "Where's Manda", but i don't know the details so "that's all i got to say about that" :)

gonzo

03-29-2005, 01:46 AM

Looks like we have a nice little crowd going to Luna Park. I've twisted the arm of the mate I am staying with to come along as well 8) It'll be a fantastic time!

Hope you packed some shorts Vonn 'cause it's gunna be a fantastic day with an expected 30 degree C Autumn day. Someone must like us to give us a great day for Sunday.

2Stupid2Duck

04-01-2005, 06:28 AM

LOL > anything over 10 degrees is a great day in Auckland.

(To be honest, Auckland weren't too bad, the South Island was a wee bit cooler tho.)

Well you folks... are you there yet? .. are you there yet?

(It's really sad when you live vicariously through other forum goers.)
