That is one of the many drawbacks to having a SmartCard only solution...I won't get into politics but the government really botched myki up!

Almost all the places I visit in Asia allow you to purchase a ticket from a machine using cash. Why are we so different in Australia?

And yes I know a lot of people dodge paying fares but when they are caught the penalties are light.

Don't even ask - myki is a complete stuff up.

I have spares but too late to send you one ...

Anyhoo, looks like being a right old schmozzle of a Day Saturday with a prediction of morning and afternoon rain with top of 14°C with a low hanging off Eden - Just right for my HBA-SYD flight ...

Looks like winter arrived early this year, it's bloody cold in MEL. Makes me even more grateful for my weekly flights to QLD and the upcoming trip to Europe

How about Tazio?
Tazio Birraria Pizzeria & Cucina

Their pizza is actually quite good IMHO ($17-20), although they changed their tap beer about ~4 months ago which created a few waves among the Friday lunch crowd.

And they are a QANTAS partner, so we can argue over who gets the points...

 

[slc767338]

Tazio could work...I have heard good things of their pizzas.

... I may be able to stick my head in on the way through from Tulla ... so that's one more ...

 

[JohnK]

I still have 1.2M points left, do I win?

Exactly? You just win!

 

[JessicaTam]

Sounds good to me. And close to Flinders St station for those in "training".

 

[boomy]

Plus 5k. Won't be so many left after June 30.

 

[penegal]

Sounds good to me. And close to Flinders St station for those in "training".

Indeed, it is a short walk to both Flinders St and Parliament stations.
