This OzFest is shaped by the needs of the past 15 months. It's simple, I havn't had to put my credit card down too many times, and it's all about enjoying Brisbane in a way many locals do. And it's all about enjoying the River and the Bay, and our lovely city with friends over food.. So much good food
Friday 28/05/2021
OzFest 2021 kicks off at 6:15pm with drinks & dinner at
River Bar and Kitchen
Riparian Plaza, 71 Eagle St, Promenade level
* We have a table booked for a 3 hours block.

A great way to enjoy The River City.
We'll spend the day riding the River Cats & ferries.
Saturday Lunch
will be at a venue to be advised - we await final confirmation as we speak!
* You will need a TransLink card for the Cats / Ferries. Available at many retail venues plus BNE at the train station. Check out TransLink site for retailers near your hotel, plus how the system works.
Saturday Dinner
Continue on the River after lunch, arrive by river at Eat Street for drinks & dinner. Sunset is at 5:00pm.
I have secured a booking from 5:00pm - 8:00 pm for a quaint converted old shipping container, plus there are other tables just outside the container if we exceed the COVID safe number inside.
Ferry / Cat back to the City at the end.
* There are dozens of styles of food available from individual Vendors on the site.
** For those driving there is heaps of free parking. Admission for all is $5
*** The cost to me for the container for 3 hours is $180. We'll divide this by the number who attend?

A morning / day by the Bay.
Catch the bus / train / drive / taxi / Uber to enjoy the morning Markets at Redcliffe on The Esplanade close to the Redcliffe Jetty from as early as you want.
Views of Moreton Island and the Bay.
Wander out onto the Jetty.
Check out the BeeGees walk between Sutton St and The Esplanade.

MBBC Bird of Paradise Esplanade
Scarborough
We have a table / tables booked on the deck at MBBC from 12:30pm.

** Locals, don't forget to brink an esky so you can buy some fresh seafood and ice to take home from Morgan's just around the corner
*** Folk who have checked out of their hotels in the City and plan to head to the airport after the morning or after lunch can perhaps pop their bags into assorted cars of locals who will be attending.
BNE is around a 35-40 minutes easy run from MBBC ***
