Re: Brisbane and surrounds, meet up early October.
 
Looks really like a couple of options to me:

Decker parks great for meets (need to get there early though) there was a recent one there with Superchick and Maverick in attendance.

The Woody Point pub (the Belvedere) as usual.

Or maybe the lagoon at Redcliffe although thats an alcohol free zone now :sneaky:

Maybe another considerations is time - lunch till lates.....!

Cheers,

Carl

Train runs to Shorncliff/Sandgate, which are just south of the Hornibrook Bridge - you'd then need to get a taxi or bus across the bridge and up to the pub/lagoon wherever.

Drop the car at our place and I'll take one of ours down there then we can jump a taxi back.

Decker Park?? is that a pub??

Redclife lagoon - alcohol free totally rules that out if Polly is coming :rofl:

And we always do 'lunch-ish until last man stands' anyway. The last one was 12:30pm until 3:30am - just ask Bobby - he saw (almost) every minute of it.

We are Rob 34 and Caroline 27. We have been in Oz for 4 weeks now and have settled into a lovely unit in Redcliffe, just North of Brisbane. The only thing missing is a social life! :(

We would love to meet up with others in the same boat for a drink and a chat.....

We are open to ideas on where and when but thought that for a starters, a Sunday would be good!

As a suggestion, Redcliffe itself is fab on a weekend. Beaches and parks a plenty and generally a nice place to 'get away from it all'!

So...who's up for it?

Wassap mate, our meet-ups too tame for you...or too heavy???
