It will be a BBQ with loads of play area for kids & even the odd kangaroo I'm told.
Anyone interested ???

It's at Melways 210 E2.
Look out for a bunch of mad Brits in plastic macs, flagging down all passing kangaroos & asking to borrow their BBQs!
Hope you can make it,
Cheers
Anya.
PS: we've been here since beginning of August so are newbies too...

Re: Melbourne meet N.o 3
Hi all....
Unfortunatly, the Hubby and I have had to make the decision not to come to this get together due to our lacking finances. We just cant afford to pay the prices for accomodation in Melbourne.
We had hoped to have had our tax money in by now but the friend that was doing it for us hadnt put the forms in until just a week ago and now we got at least another 5 week wait. The house in the UK hasnt sold yet so things are pretty dire.
We will make it down to a meet soon though.....I hope you all have a great time
