Brisbane AFF Xmas Dinner - Private dining @ Bretts Wharf, Wednesday 30th November

[Mal]

Ascot Station on the Doomben line - a possible option.

Poor service to there. Haven't looked at the timetable but it has a very irregular timetable.

Don't know if anyone is passing through to pick you up. There are no train stations near Brett's Wharf, which reduces down to:

Taxi
Pro: easiest option
Con: handily the most expensive option

Bus (no. 300 from Adelaide/Wharf Streets)
Pro: quickest public transport option
Con: most difficult option for an out-of-towner; Adelaide St stop is ~500m from the Diamant (Adelaide & Wharf Sts)

Ferry
Pro: easiest public transport option, Bretts Wharf very near the ferry stop
Con: need to get to North Quay or Riverside ferry stop, which is quite far from the Diamant. To be there "on time", must get to Riverside by 6.45pm.


As for the shoe...what's wrong? If it's a broken heel platform, could you just rip off the heel of the other shoe and make yourself a new pair of flats? (saw this from a Mentos ad once... )

What makes the bus difficult? Just arrived bne and heading for train.

As for shoe, it is the back of a sandal. Needs 2 stitches from a sewing machine

Getting to the right stops - they are not signed extremely well on this line.

For the arrival stop, I suppose you could nicely ask the driver to stop for you when you approach Brett's Wharf / Racecourse Rd. Final destination is then about 200m walk away.

Mains. Lamb was a little tough. Eye fillet was devine, best steak I've ever eaten.

 

[Bundy Bear]

The steak was nice just a little under cooked.

Very jealous. 7 hours waiting at sfo. I had an indifferent steak using plastic cutlery on a paper plate. Then my many times delayed flight was cancelled. UA was not going to help me get to Smf inside 2 days , so while you were all having the best steak of your lives (hiss) I was on a shuttle I chartered to get me to Smf. Thick fog the whole way had the driver running off the road a few times, and made it in 4 hours.

Glad to hear the food lived up to the reputation.

Great night.I have finally lol got dfcatch and keith009 to leave and it's off to bed. --- We did finish the wine though.

Good night.

ps I don't want to start rumours but Lawlass was well behaved :!: :shock:

 

[markis10]

Thanks to all for a good night, although I have some regret with the late night and the fact it was Wednesday! I do hope everyone enjoyed themselves, some of us discovered the Citycats are not just a tourist thing, just a maxi taxi on water!
