Titanic Tour of the Barossa [April 12, 2015 - Wine tour by Buzz]

[blackcat20]

Well, I'm the in-house TA here, and I've yet to decide how much time I can crib for the trip-before-the-trip. Creeping up slowly on all the Must Do items before this departure for Europe. The list is growing, rather than reducing, so that's not helping at all.
But all will be well. Fortunately, several of you have posted your accommodation details, so we can always try couch surfing, if all else fails.

Hotel prices seem to be creeping up quite a bit so I wouldnt leave it too long...

As a former couchsurfer I don't think it's a bad idea

Thank you, TomV!
I wasn't getting much of a warm welcome from too many here.

Worry not, though. You are safe from invasion. The accom booking will eventually make it's way to the top of my list.

OT, but a good friend of mine couchsurfed for 5 years whilst doing his PhD in Adelaide. Came from Valencia.

He also came and left HLO :shock:

Well, that would put me out of couch surfing contention, even if nothing else did! I doubt I could do five days HLO.

Now that's traveling light.

With now only one spot remaining, who is going to be the lucky last?
You never know, there might just be a dinner for 2 on offer.

Something for me to aspire to!

Something for me to aspire to!

There's light - and there's disgusting :shock:.

 

[Buzzard]

With only days to go, there is still one spot left. Any late takers?

 

[TomVexille]

You know you want to...

I have just been going through the list of prizes that will be given away on the day. ELEVEN!
A couple of generous AFFers here, one who will be attending this event and one who unfortunately can not but has still given something.
I have also been donated prizes from the Facebook group. Given that +1 and I are not in the running for any of the prizes, your chance of winning something is pretty good at 50/50.
Because the event has not sold out I am not revealing what any of the prizes are. Trust me, you won't be disappointed.

Have a great time everyone. Unfortunately I've got an overseas work assignment leaving Sat morning, so won't be joining the dinner and this event. Nevertheless, nothing beats Buzz's winery tour so it'll be great fun for sure.

That's a bummer.

Anyone from BNE going down Friday?

 

[QF WP]

stark has been in contact and has taken one of my guest passes for the ADL Lounge on Sunday night. With him paying for my spare ticket, I have some $$ for a bottle

Happy to help out for such a worthy cause
