Melbourne - Australia [ not Florida ] Next Meet ?

[Norm]

I didn't see any picnic tables and benches to sit on and to put our stuff, it seems we may have to use ours car bonnets for that, which is fine by me.

Deals off or will we just trash your car

Norm

[mvyrmnd]

I don't suppose we can delay this until I land my FFIII? I'm sure Gav would love a play with it

[Fusion_m8]

Not here in 2.5 weeks left to go?? What shipping option did u use? Anyway in regards to the date and place, I'm whatevs bro...

[Norm]

Must be coming from DX

[Fusion_m8]

Bloody hot this morning, there was ice and frost on the front yard and the roof of my car. Time to get the bathers and thongs and head to the beach.

It's coming by EMS from the 'states, but you never know.

[old4570]

Im sure I could scrounge up one table ,

[Fusion_m8]

Or we could go to the Horswood Rd end of the lake and have a BBQ since we have CPFers coming from country areas like Wangaratta, Ballarat and Warragul. Having a good BBQ on a cold winters night will make the trip for all more enjoyable. I can supply the meat, just need a head count so I can buy enough.

[Norm]

Looks good Gav.

I'm just looking on Google Maps from the roundabout and it looks like there are gates into the park? Does anyone know if they are closed at a certain time of night? I think Jells Road locks theirs and I know Karkarook Park around the corner from me locks up at "dark". Not terribly flashaholic friendly!

A short walk to the BBQs would be OK as long as there is still somewhere to park at that time of night.

EDIT 8am to 8pm daylight saving time according to this: http://parkweb.vic.gov.au/explore/pa...sterfield-park

[Fusion_m8]

Horswood Rd entry gate will be locked but the exit will not be locked, however there are spikes to prevent cars from entering via the exit gate ala Jells Park. For those who feel worries about driving over spikes, there is a 24hr carpark (cnr of Horswood Rd & Logan Park Track) at the entrance on the right as you are about to enter the gates of the park. From the 24hr carpark, its about a 150m walk to the pictured picnic area.

Ah thanks Fusion

Local knowledge is always a good thing.

[mvyrmnd]

I'm seeing if I can squeeze a trip in on the 30th.

[Fusion_m8]

Before I run out and buy the meat:

1) Are we meeting up at Horswood Rd entrance of Lysterfield Lake or Hallam North Rd(which doesn't have any BBQ facilities)?
2) How many of us?

I can bring a BBQ if required.
I told my boss i would have to knock off early on the 30th to go play with torches, she did not understand.

[Trevtrain]

I'll come along for a look.

If you like, I can bring some home-made (well, machine made actually) bread.

Stuxnet was designed to take down nuclear facilities. What wre you hiding?

I'll be there. I received the blessing from the Mrs. last night. I've yet to find out what it'll cost me....

Last week at work, one of the engineers spent $369 of his own money on a LED Lenser X21. He was all bells and whistles about the X21 to his mates till I brought my $70 Trustfire TR-J12 and showed him what a XM-L light was capable of...

I've Just spent the same money on a FireFoxes III - I'll show you what it's capable of (assuming it gets here soon. Tracking says it's in Australia, but that just means the real wait has begun)

[Fusion_m8]

Chris:

What type of portable BBQ is it? Wood fire or gas? If its too much trouble for a BBQ maybe I'll just get a bucket of KFC.

[Leoht]

Just a gas camping BBQ the plate is about 500mm by 300mm.

[mvyrmnd]

I've noticed that our meetup thread is once again spending a lot of time talking about food.

We'll end up with a reputation soon!

[Norm]

Sorry can't answer eating.



Norm

[Fusion_m8]

nom nom nom nom....

[Trevtrain]

Hmmmm.......

and I thought it was about the lights.......

[mvyrmnd]

It stopped being about the lights a few meets ago. Now it's about the meat.

My little Fire-Foxes III arrived today and will definitely be making an appearance!
