Look out, Melbourne! 20 - 27 August 2013 [Blue Train Dinner Sunday 25th]

[jetlagger]

I have heard of this Melbourne place...


I am skiing in the "Victorian Alps" 23-25 August. I will be in Melbourne or Singapore on either side of that trip, so happy to catch up for dinner or drinks.

Any invite to your exclusive chalet.. ?? I have some exotic Gluwein, courtesy of IC CUN

I guess the consensis is the 25th, if that suits you erkpod?

25th's fine with me!

Well that's the time. Now we just need the place.

Thoughts?

Can't make either date that weekend ...Tu 20th - Fr 23rd & Mo 26th are ok.

I'm staying at Astra in Docklands if that helps.

If you like to take in an AFL footy match FOC on the Saturday 24th at the Docklands (Nth Melbourne v Hawthorn, Etihad Stadium), I have a spare ticket.

I've never seen an AFL game live so what better place to do it than Melbourne! That would be awesome! Thank you!

At this stage I will be in Melbourne for the nights of 15th and 20th August if that is any help to anyone. (HoTP for 15th and HSW on the 20th.)

I think you've just issued the invitation for us all to attend the party in your room,

Twice.....

Sue and I will be happy to entertain some people (do you qualify?) on the 20th. (**Note for Penegal and JessicaTam --- bring your own wine)

Should I bring Sue's wine this time?

Although it could probably be aged a few more years

I may be able to drop in after work.

Not too far from Docklands is Chinatown or Little Greece for example. If there is somewhere that looks good in your 'touristing' then sing out. It doesn't sound like there are too many of us, so we shouldn't need a booking.

Are you coming to dinner on the 25th?

I haven't really explored Docklands much at all. As long as we don't end up at Crown. The last 2 times I was there, I almost got thrown out.

I just received an email from the property manager to let me know that there's no reception at my accommodation but one of the property managers meet me on arrival. I've never had that happen to me before. Interesting.

Lonsdale Street?

Lovely area but not quite the same as it used to be once upon a time.

Little Bourke/Lonsdale area.

Have any of you been on the dinner tram in Melbourne?

 

[serfty]

Have any of you been on the dinner tram in Melbourne?

Yes, it's relatively expensive and often booked out weeks in advance.

Food and drink was ok ...

I haven't, but it may be limiting to those who may come late or need to leave early.
