Australians...

Post by **weemadando** » 2003-05-15 12:51am

Vympel and I had been tossing around the idea of a gathering somewhere later in the year for any Aussie members of SDnet/ASVS who were interested...

So - expressions of interest and/or recommendations for location?

Buy me a plane ticket, and a can of "Funnel Web B' Gone" and I'm there!

I recommend Sydney, it's more or less central to the country. City wise anyway, for true centricity we could all go to Alice Springs.

Sydney is good. We can start a pub crawl from the Rocks and work our way inside.

Could you imagine the drinking games with this crowd?

We'd be drunk before the first shots hit our mouths.

OK, that is obviously not really going to work.

How about "Hook up an IV if... DarkStar admits defeat"

Hmm. It appears all of you guys are in Sydney. The trip from Brizvegas is too far

Any Brisbanites here?

How about some time between July the 31st to August the 3rd?

Why, you ask? Because of the Sexpo of course!

Just had a look at the Virgin Blue website, and it appears right now as though the cheapest return flight from Perth to Sydney is $438 (now that's gonna make a dint in most people's budget).

IIRC, yes, quite a few here and there. But ggs is over at Perth, and I don't remember any dirt cheap flights being offered by anyone between Perth and Sydney.

And add on living costs for the visit...

Archaic`, overcrowded north or the mighty south side. two points for guessing which one i am on

$438 sure isnt cheap for me. I'm a student, and in typical fashion not rich.

Then add into the cost of living for even a few days there, and the price just keeps going up

Stupid city located in the middle of nowere

Its not the Funnel Webs which are the problem, its all the other things

General Insect repelent is what you need.

Since it is going into winter, the snakes are going into hyberbation, the insects are less active, and the tempearture isnt +30 Degrees
