Semi-Finalized plan

Hi again,

We will meet Sunday September 5th on the south bank of the Yarra river, outside of Nobu Restaurant (which is part of the Crown Casino Complex), at 6:30 pm. I will be the guy standing outside without a coat - if it's raining I will have a white umbrella. There are several restaurants nearby that we can choose from. Also, there is an interesting fire display on the south bank that occurs every hour (starting at 8:00?) that I think everyone will enjoy

From the CBD: make your way to the Yarra river and cross over to the south side. Nobu is directly across the river from the midpoint of the Melbourne Aquarium.

I walked there from the main entrance of Flinders St. Station in 15 minutes (but note that I walk rather quickly; most people would take 20-25 minutes). (The Westin is ~5 minutes walk to Flinders St. Station). If you walk across the Yarra directly from Flinders St. Station, note that there is construction at the south end of that bridge (on St Kilda's St.), making it a little tricky to make your way down to the south bank river walk. You are probably better off crossing on any of the bridges west of St. Kilda's road.

Looking forward to seeing all of you!
