I still have to look into the last two hotels and mini bus hire.

I will do a money coillection later this year or very early next year to the tune of $200 - $300 per person to cover the deposits for rooms, mini bus, train tickets etc.

Any of you guys (Exile, Sage, Moses, Chook etc) over east that are planning to join us, can you please let me know at what point you would like to be included. For instance if you want to be booked with us from say Central Station on the Saturday morning, do Canberra with us and back to Campbelltown on Sunday night etc.

can I just point out that if you really want to see the war memorial properly it isnt something you can do in a day let alone half a day. And when you ad on to that other sights you would be better just visiting the other sights like pubs in that time...

[Sagerian]

I'd love to be in on some of that. I'll PM you mate.

I understand your point, I could spend weeks there, but I'm sure you'll agree, if you have never seen it, half a day there is better than half a day in the pub or in any other gallery or museum the ACT has to offer 8)

that really does sound like a lot of fun! wish the 1st of March wasn't the day semester one starts for uni

[RugbyFan]

Jess, everyone knows you don't do anything in the first week! haha

[Happy]

yeah.. just delay your start date by a week jess!!

[Jess]

Old Man Cringle would love that huh. hehe.
I'm thinking about deferring for the second semester next year to do a bit of living outside of education. Big holiday or something. So i better not miss any of the first semester of uni.
We'll see I guess.

[Lonzy]

oh yeeeeeahhhhhhhhhh ... how awsome does that sound??? ... never been to kings cross though ... the first time we went we drove through from the airport and the taxi driver was telling me how it went down hill ... hehehe

[The InnFORCEr]

It's not really that exciting Lonzy, the best bit (apart from watching The Force beat The Waratahs) will be a toss up between the War Memorial and The Rocks, thirst will also play a role. Glad to have you on tour Lonzy.

[Darren]

"Lonzy and The InnFORCErs"

Sounds like a rock band!

[The InnFORCEr]

Don't you worry mate we will certainly be rockin and probably a bit of rollin as well

Ok just as an alternative if I am in Canberra at the time which much to Evie's delight I shall try to be for those that dont want to go to the war memorial because they arent interested I am sure Evie and I could take you to somewhere like Questacon to do fun little kids stuff....Its Edumacational....
