Default 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

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

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 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???
