Bindibuys, ssshhhhh, not so loud :o

I'm sure she already knows - being English ;). She found our yesterday that Big W stock Ghost perfume - her stock favourite. All she now needs is a Boots pharmac_ and she'd be happy
 
Anyone know what a taxi would cost from OOL Airport - Varisty Lakes station or even Robina station on a Sunday night?

Thanks Virgin for the 40 minute delay. Greatly appreciated at that time of the night. :(

The same as any other night :?: :lol:
 
One way car hire at $73 is looking like the best option.

Wish I had booked it a month or so back when one way car hire was <$50. Thems the breaks....

Goes mostly along the highway...so probably very apt description.

Varsity Lakes/Robina Station > OOL, I'd plump for $60 (25 kms x $2.20 + $7.30 ++) Australian travel maps, street directory, driving directions & aerial photographs - Whereis.com

I was going to say closer to $40, as its 16km by road.

Cost? At $65/night it looks like a bargain. And is reasonably close to MEL airport.

And I am trying to organise golf at Sunshine Golf Club at ~7:30am Sunday morning. ;)

I struggle to justify spending $120+/night on a motel room.

Fair call.

I only ever go to the western suburbs occasionally for work, so I really don't know much about that side of town.

Western Suburbs in any city in the southern hemisphere are not very popular. Something to do with the way the winds blow.

This motel looks alright but only 3 reviews on TripAdvisor although all positive.

Ahh the joy in uniform change! I'm up for another one in a few months, although it's a step in the right direction!

The change in names of departments is silly. When the current NSW Government was elected, they changed the name of some departments from Department of ABC to ABC Department. So much waste.
