I had thought about a visit to the Lone Pine koala sanctuary. Maybe there's a photo thread opportunity with that one.
Otherwise there's the Brisbane Oktoberfest this weekend but not sure if I fancy that one as I doubt its much fun by yourself.

Bloody Hell, talk about short notice !!
We've got a card game organised for tomorrow night at home, is you're interested. Otherwise leave it with me for a few hours and I'll see what I can arrange.
Jaysus, its SEPTEMBER, mate.
finals footy! spend the day at the pub.
Unfortunately, we have no internet at home at the moment (fcuking Telstra/BigPond !!), so communication is going to be difficult.
What time do you arrive?
Please call either myself on 0414 915 xxx or my brother DaveArn on 0414 610 xxx when convenient and we'll let you know what's going on.
The other bad news is it's forcast for showers and late storms for the next couple of days, so outdoor activities may be ill-advised.
You're more than welcome to join us playing cards. There's currently four of us playing. $50 in each, winner takes all.

Oh, and we will be watching the Broncos/Storm game on TV (big screen) !!
I didn't think there were any TD members actually living in Brisbane.Quote:

Actually I have been here since yesterday - staying at The Point hotel, and have been busy catching up with reports and stuff, and drinking beer on the balcony.
Fancy a steak and/or a few beers down at the Breakfast Creek hotel tonight?
Jeeez mate, do I ever!Quote:

As Jo said, give us a call and catch up.
Don't be a slack arse, we may even show you a few good spots (depending on what you fancy, of course)

what time and how long will it take me to get there from The Point by cab?
And is there an ATM nearby as I only have 100 bucks on me?
Give us a call at about 5.00pm and we will work something out. Maybe we will head home first and catch up about 6.00 or 6.30
See ya then !
Next problem is how do we recognise you. Best stay away from physical descriptions otherwise we'll cop shit from the others on here !!
We can meet you at the entrance from the car park? What will you be wearing? I'm not going to ask all and sundry "Are you Slimboyfat?" Somebody will snot me for sure !!
ok will do.
now i regret starting drinking at 2pm

About 30 mins by taxi (depending on traffic:() and probably cost $25-$30. There's an ATM in the pub.Quote:

bloody hell dd, now I can't call them to clarify because you have edited out the numbers
I know this is the age of technology and computers and all that, don't you own a pen and a scrap of paper?
Anyway, I have probably saved your life, a fun day out for these Aussies is to get a tourist, rope erm to the back of their pick up, take them out to the outback, then play "Hunt the Back Packer", oh, and you would be the backpacker :)
And it's 6.30pm at the pub.
fair enough. while you are about it dd, could you edit my christian name out of one of my earlier posts in this thread please.
it doesn't go well with my avatar
^ They're got blokes SBF - you'll have a good evening.
should that be 'They've got blokes SBF - you'll have a good evening' in which case I am a bit worried.Quote:
