Come one. Come all.
Arrive by night. Or by day It may be Winter but the "White pointers" will still be "out and about". We have BEER And GIRLS It's short notice............... But as Henry Lawson once said. Mr. North opened his bloodshot eyes, rubbing his forehead with hands that trembled... he saw the empty brandy bottle.. and remembered what had passed. With shaking hands he dashed water over his aching head... the debauch of the previous night had left the usual effects behind it. His brain seemed on fire, his hands were hot and dry, his tongue clove to the roof of his mouth. Anyway he digressed.

Yikes... $2850 to fly to Sydney and back for the weekend. $1200 for a weeklong trip.
If only I knew one of you down there well enough to hang for an entire week.

Well I asked a friend if she wanted to come with me - 'cause I'm not going halfway around the world for a week all by myself. She'll be traveling during those dates, so it doesn't look too good. She's the only friend I have who isn't perpetually broke.

Just throwing in a few ideas on things to do and see.
I'm up for all or any depending on what everyone else wants to do. ( Just gonna go with the flow ) Hopefully we can get a few more overseas TFP'ers here too. I'm working the Friday night but can put in a solid Sat & Sun. What do all you guys want to do? ......................................................................................................... Sydney Harbour Bridge Pylon Lookout ( Cost is $8 ) Open Open daily 10:00am-5:00pm Nearest Public Transport 10 minute walk from Circular Quay Website: www.pylonlookout.com.au Climb the 200 steps to the top of the Pylon, where you will be rewarded with spectacular panoramic views of the city. Also find out how the Sydney Harbour Bridge was constructed & discover the stories behind the opening celebration. Hyde Park ( FREE ) Maybe a good place for lunch. Bounded by College, Elizabeth, Liverpool Streets and St James' Road Nearest Public Transport St James' & Museum Railway Stations, Elizabeth Street Bus Services Observatory Hill ( Free if not visiting the observatory ) Watson Road, The Rocks Nearest Public Transport Sydney Explorer Bus Stop 22, Circular Quay Rail, Ferry & Bus Station Stunning views of Sydney Harbour and the Sydney Harbour Bridge are available from Observatory Hill, the highest point in the city. Sydney Opera House ( Maybe a good initial meetng point as everyone knows where this joint is ) Open Open daily 8:30am-12midnight Benelong Point Nearest Public Transport Circular Quay Rail, Ferry and Bus Stations, Sydney Explorer Bus Stop 2 Sydney Tower ( About $20 ) Westfield Centrepoint, 100 Market Street Nearest Public Transport Sydney Explorer Bus Stop 14 & St James' Railway Station 300m above the city, Centrepoint Tower offers magnificent views that extend to the Central Coast to the north, Wollongong to the south and the Blue Mountains to the west. The Rocks ( Dollar value unknown ) The site of Sydney’s first settlement is a maze of cobbled lanes and beautifully restored sandstone buildings. In other words,there are plenty of old fashioned pubs. A great place for a few "quite ones" There are markets here on weekends too. Sydney Ferries ( About $6 for a trip to Manly and back and about $8 for the Jetcat) ......................................................................................................... Anyway there are heaps of options and these are just for the mix. Ideas only.

Australia Meet-Up July 2nd, 3rd, 4th (that weekend)
I thought I'd put this in so all you guys who go "Ohh.. Tilted Australia.. " know about the meetup (incase you don't read/ignore GD sticky's).
A get-together is planned for the first Weekend in July. It will be a cultural event (tourism, bridge climbing ( :P ), something cool) during the day and a slight pub crawl during the night. You don't have to go to both.. can just show up for parts or whatever.. we'd love to see you there. We made it that weekend to coincide w/ Uni holidays. http://www.jetstar.com.au/ http://www.virginblue.com.au/ Free/Cheap Accomodation may be provided (otherwise there's cheap hostels/hotels up there). Make note of it, and come meet other TFPers! BTW, It's in Sydney Last edited by Latch; 06-04-2004 at 02:17 PM.. |

I'll be there, bells on. Maybe we can have a Melbourne one closer to Chrissie, maybe head to a one dayer or something?
Do we have a loose list of things we can do yet? If we don't do a bit of planning we'll just end up going to the CBH and hitting the piss... and we all know how much Latch hates drinking.

Pros: It's a set of buses that hits pretty much every touristy-place in the Sydney CBD area. The buses come around something like every 20 minutes, and you can get off and on as much as you like during the day you've bought the ticket for. Cons: It's bloody expensive! Anyways, just an idea.... Quote:

Stair climb sounds the go, then we can jump on a bus. As long as we end up at the Orient/Bondi/Coogee Bay...

That's the plan. I'm a bit worried though, as I have lawyers on my back (for Perm. Residency application) for money... I think I should still have enough to fly up there/get a hotel/have a good time.. we'll have to see. |

Bad news...
Looks like I'm going to have to skip this get-together. I thought I'd have enough, but another thing came up that's going to take my budget for the flight/hotel/etc. I'm not happy about it.. but it has to be done..... Sorry I can't be there.. take some photos, and have a good time! I'll have to catch the next one in November... This sucks. |
