I am now confirmed for this....looking forward to it. Have we decided a time?
 
Bugger! At least there will be Perth :).





I'm still trying to think of a suitable one, not even 100% if I want to bring down from the US. Might just buy a red after I arrive at MEL so I don't have to worry as much about packing it securely (two AA flights tossing it around sounds like a recipe for disaster :eek:).

I have updated through post 55. Please advise if any of the following are inaccurate:

Definite:
TheBOSman
TomVexille
blackcat20
boomy
mmchow
Oscarq
whole-lotta-moxie+1
whughes3

Hopeful!:
bismarck
Goodonya
tuapekastar


Alas I cannot:
serfty
straitman
Steady
Hvr

Looking for his Geiger counter:
penegal

Currently hiding the Geiger counter from penegal so he can't find it:
JessicaTam

I think we are now at 11 people? They are closed today but I'd like to call them with a final number early tomorrow if possible.
 
Go for it! I will confirm numbers with the restaurant in the AM.

Despite all of AA's best efforts :rolleyes: I have successfully made it to Melbourne. Are we looking at 12 people? The only one I cannot find a confirmation either way is for Goodonya but I could easily be missing something in a sleepless haze!

Aeolus is also now confirmed so 13.

Welcome to Melbourne, sorry about the rain...

Only sprinkles when my plane landed at Tullamarine, haven't been outside for a drop! Looking forward to seeing everyone tonight, need to head out to a proper establishment sometime today to procure a suitable beverage for the evening :D.
 
To be fair, I meant to note that the Geiger counter would not be found at Flemington. I assumed it all but a mortal lock that you would be found there though ;).

haha, well I certainly was at Flemington yesterday, and what a great day it was :)
 
I'm in the QP on my way home so sadly can't attend.

Bugger! Have a safe flight.

Wine successfully procured for tonight ;). Also, did not realize that the same tram stops directly outside of my hotel and outside The Olive Tree. Fortuitous :D.

Its also pretty much walking distance from my work, however I will be heading home for a bit then getting the train back in.

I've called the restaurant and updated the booking to 14 just in case of a last minute addition.
 
I might drop by, weather permitting, general vagueness, etc.

I am in Melb currently. However I was actually meant to be doing something else, but not sure if the other engagement is still happening.
