Sydney night out at the Summit Bar
Hi all,
First of all, apologies to Fastfunker and whoever else's toes I might be stepping on by starting this thread - don't mean to steal anyone's thunder here!
Having said that, I thought I'd start a new thread to see who is interested in the night out that's been suggested.
Date: Saturday April 23rd
Location: The Summit Bar (To quote Fastfunker: 'For those who haven't been, the summit is a bar/restaurant on top of Australia Square (47th floor or something), accessed by either Pitt or George Streets, and the bar does a complete 360deg spin every hour (and that's before you start drinking!). Views are amazing, especially at night.') The address is: Lvl 47, Australia Sq, 264 George St (http://www.summitrestaurant.com.au)
Time: Errrrrrm, your guess as good as mine on that. Alan&Sonia suggested meeting at sunset to see the lights come on across the city and allow those reliant on peasant wagons, sorry, public transport (me & 'im included!) time to get back at a reasonable hour. Should they want to! What time would that be?About 6 pm ish?
I think, so far, Rappits, Fastfunker, Alan&Sonia and the GG's have expressed an interest.
Any more takers?

Re: Sydney night out at the Summit Bar
Apart from not being in Sydney yet, the last time I ate in a revolving restaurant (at the AMP tower) the contents of the meal were back up again 
by the time I reached the bridge to Darling harbour - and I only had a glass of wine - honest

Re: Sydney night out at the Summit Bar
Hi Richard,
That's too bad - but we'll look forward to seeing either you or Alison again.
And congratulations to Fastfunker! Glad to hear the good news about the lease - and good luck with finding a new place quickly.

We've got 2 weeks to find somewhere and move in; new tenant takes over this place on the 20th; so relieved on the one hand, but stressed on the other! Not sure if the unit idea is such a good one now (even though I still have a yearning to be in the middle of Manly); not kiddie friendly. And I have had to cancel my fishing trip on saturday to drive around the northern beaches
We may be back to the original Collaroy plan. Further out (probably about the same to Manly as your place?), but at least we can get a house there AND be near the beach....

Re: Sydney night out at the Summit Bar
Sounds good.
Yeah probably best to meet somewhere else first before heading to the summit, probably best to book a table or something

Chalkfarm - it would be good to see you and hubbie there, Claire. Keep us posted.
Rappits - I'll leave booking anything for another week until numbers are confirmed and then am happy to book something, if people want me to.

I heard a story of a woman putting her handbag down beside her (on the non moving part) and was more than a little agitated when it 'disappeared'.
