We're also having a meet this weekend - 2pm at Roma St Parklands in the City on Sunday (29th) if you fancy coming along. Most people are meeting 2pm at the top of the escalators (near the activity centre) then moving on the celebration lawn for a picnic. There is a map here.
Feel free to PM me with your contact details if you want to chat / ask questions about anything!
Cheers
Alicia

there's lot sof places to eat and shop, but i say you've just got here, relax, have a beer
and just take it all in.
I wish we'd known about the email with singapore air, they said that as we were having a stop over we couldn't have the extra allowance and charge us for 10k extra (even though we had 30k over) but it was still expensive, i'll pass on that tip on my site.
We've been here 4 months so just settling into things properly we live in bracken ridge on the north side.
Have fun. karen.x
