Default Leaving party ... "gulp" ... booked

250 people shin dig booked at a local hotel for Saturday 18th February ... (nothing like looking forward) ...

The theme is Australia fancy dress ... Errr ... that narrows it down to Surf Dudes or Crocodile Hunters

Any other wacky suggestions with an Antipodean twist ?

A more nervous by the day ...

Ideas for fancy dress
a sheila?
Boomerang?
a meat pie?


Sounds like fun. We are going to book ours too, it's funny how these events bring on the nerves!

Some party ideas.

The cast of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert? I've always fancied that dress made out of flip flops myself. Or was it just Guy Pearce's bum?

Mad Max?

Russell Crowe's phone?

The Opera House?

A cockroach?

Waltzing Matilda? Often wondered what she looked like.

What can a person do in Birmingham for a week.......with their dad......
its seems to me you need to get to Perth pronto mate.
