From London to Perth and Melbourne - Nov 18

It may also be worth reserving the big table for 8:30 if we get a bigish group coming to Mamasita?

 

[nlagalle]

i'll be there, not sure the exact time as yet, probably closer to 8pm

 

[Lawlass]

I'm most likely a starter (despite the rude response from Flashware ). It depends if my weekend away starts Friday afternoon or Saturday morning.

 

[tuapekastar]

I'm a starter, notwithstanding the fact that I've just read their reservations (or rather, lack of same) policy, and could be forgiven if I think I'm attending a gulag camp rather than a restaurant. It grates that they make it sound like they're doing me a favour by letting me pay them to eat there, and have to wait around for the privilege.

But enough grumpiness (as valid as it may be). See you there.

I skimmed, so I could have missed it. But I only see MEL getting mentioned. Not PER. It's a QF night mare

Flashware,

Have you actually made a reservation :?: (or is that a silly question)

Just got back from Kalbarri ; I somehow managed to go close to a week without touching my laptop... a new record perhaps? Last time I can think of that happening must have been 10+ years ago :shock:

No reservation made yet, but as some people have mentions it looks like you may not be able to anyway?

From their web site.

Up to 8 is walk in only. 8-10 can be reserved and bigger numbers require split reservations.

Does anyone have any idea of how many are attending?

Sounds like a plan.

I am happy to meet somewhere nearby around COB for drinks, then move across for dinner around 8/830pm

That could work... I'll have a better idea of what I'm doing up till then once I've landed tomorrow evening. Reminds me, need to buy some Skybus tickets....

I have tried to make a reservation for 10 people. (They can take 11 at a squeeze)

I'll follow up tomorrow as the waitstaff cannot accept bookings and I rang outside office hours. :!:

I've spoken to straitman and no luck, 6pm was the only "definite" time they could give. Looks like we'll just have to try our luck...:!:

Currently waiting in the PER DJ lounge. What a zoo.......

 

[penegal]

I have finished "work" for the day. I am free for drinks from now onwards.

Do we have a definitive meeting place/time for the whole group?

I'm just "chilling" in the air con atm... heat is killing us

I believe we're meeting there at 8... but will see how we go for popping out ourselves a bit earlier for a pre-dinner bevvie. We're over on the Spencer St station end of town, more or less.

nlagalle, penegal and I are meeting for pre-dinner drinks at Blue Train Southbank around 6 if anyone wants to join us

On my way. I imagine I'll be there 6:30'ish. May or may not stay for dinner...have a pretty early flight tomorrow.

If it was cooler we might have appeared but will probably stay in the cool until dinner time.

ETA 6:15
sans rain protection, let's hope I don't need it!

Bloody he'll! Tree fallen across railway line, stuck at Hartwell Station, just deciding best option. At least I was able to get off the train, unlike those in the last 3 carriages
