In Sydney 5th-9th June..fancy a pint?

[deviant]

G'day guys.

Myself and the other half are taking a short holiday next month and will be in Sydney the 5th-9th (leaving on the 9th) and I'm told we are staying near Hyde Park.

Any PHers fancy meeting up for dinner and a few beers?

Hello there Deviant, myself and my other half, Bob The Planner would be happy to meet up on June 5th for a drink and food. Darling Harbour area?

I'm quite partial to a beer and a chat, count me in.

I don't want to control this or anything but I reckon darling Harbour is crap. I'd prefer something like this:

May be around.

I'll let you know sooner to the date.

Brilliant! Looks like this is on

We are easy for location as long as there is a decent meal and a couple of bars to sample. We like busy areas but prefer more grown up establishments.

I should probably find out what time we get in on the 5th though I seem to remember we land in Sydney in the arvo so that will give us time to get our bearings and strip the hotel room of anything not stuck down before heading out.

[Bob the Planner]

Will be driving down as its 3 hours on the train so not too fussy about where we end up. Ness thought darling harbour as its walking distance from the hotel but as one of us is driving will not make too much difference.

The Glenmore hotel has good food and views of the bridge and the opera house - looks a dive from the outside but they deliver IMO http://www.glenmorerooftophotel.com.au/1_home/ - also walkable from the CBD.

Hello Google (Bot) just had a look at your profile - like the strong bias toward VW. Hope you can make it, i am missing a bit of VW chat.

That rooftop place looks like a good spot!

I'm told that we do indeed get in to Sydney mid afternoon.

[Bob the Planner]

If there are no BIG cruise ships in then you do get a good view of the opera house. food is OK and aussie beer is the same everywhere ! Hopeully Tiv will be back and running by then assuming its not the chocolate finger follower problem.

So convoy it is then

New exhaust on the S3 so it'a bit loud so I can just hide behind you.

We are both really looking forward to this guys...see PH Perth, this is efficient meet up organisation

Will we need to book a table for this rooftop spot?

[Bob the Planner]

All we need to sort out now is a time ! Is 17:00 about right ?

Colonial, How about meeting up at Worthington BMW at the Kariong interchange at about 15:00 for a leisurely run down, park up on Hickson Street and wander through into The Rocks.

[deviant]

Can we make it more like 6.30-7.00? We land at 3ish and I am assuming at least an hour to the hotel and then looking at google maps its a 30 minute walk (same to drive drive strangely!) from the hotel to the pub. We are staying at the Travelodge on Wentworth Avenue.

Could someone that is going be kind enough to PM me there mobile number in case we get lost or delayed?

[Bob the Planner]

I'll see if I can sort a table for 18:30.

[deviant]

Or something like that

Can't wait guys, long time since we have been off work on holiday so its going to be good to kick back and stay up past 9

Deviant, that Travelodge is approx 200 yards from my house here!

In that case I might try and pull my finger out and come and meet you guys ...
