Folks, is there any kind of minimum dress code for such a classy event?

It is preferred that genitalia are covered. Other than that if you're comfortable we'll survive.

A mankini will do then?

Sounds like shorts are the order of the day! Hopefully the weather puts on a splendid day for us

If you can 'fill' a mankini you're welcome. If warm enough I'll wear shorts.

The last time I spent a December day out in NSW I turned into a lobster, even the hosties on the flight home felt sorry for me! I feel it'll be warm warm warm!

Just as well refreshments will be in abundance!

Ill prob just do the one at the novotel - its not as flash, but good enough (costs the same). Or get to the lounge early for pancakes!

I believe the dress code is 'Qantas Club Casual'.

I'll leave that up to your own interpretation

Umm, I think I prefer genitalia covered.

Hi-vis no problem then..

That might be pushing it a bit too far. :mrgreen: It's not the PER QP after all.

It will be interesting to see if any taxis will come to the Kingston station if called at a time no trains are normally scheduled to arrive. It looks a bit desolate.

 

[get me outta here]

SFSC, just walk up to the main road to the right of the station and you'll probably be able to flag one down.

 

[vertisol]

There's a rank in Kingston if push comes to shove. But if you manage to get one there word will quickly get out to the other drivers

 

[puppysparkes]

Perhaps calling ahead and advising of an eta will avoid any issues.

I live only a short walk from the station you won't have any problems getting taxi to come to the station.

Would it be safe to leave our car at the station for the day? (Much more convenient than at the airport).

The station is a bit quiet when there aren't any trains coming in. Perhaps consider parking nearer to the apartments just up the road, or an idea may be to see if there is parking at the Diplomat Hotel, also just up the road.

 

[Jkyn]

The station is on the corner of the street that goes to Fyshwick food Markets and is quite busy on the weekend during the day but quieter at night. Some of the parking around the apartments is time limited.
