I'm still doing my tour around Australia. At the moment I'm in Melbourner, staying at the Hilton on the Park. Moving on tomorrow to Yarra Valley and/or Torquay. I will be in MEL Qantas Club on Tuesday catching the QF481 to PER. Will be staying at the Parmelia Hilton for one night before heading down to Dunsborough to do some diving. I'll be in Perth area until 25th January before heading for SYD on the overnight red-eye. I'll then be in Sydney until 31st January. Would be happy to meet up in any of those locations.

Actually - i really should look at my reservations more often. I'm in the Westin the first night on Martin Place, then i go to the Four Points on the 28th for the remainder of the week. Aahh, heavenly bed, here I come ;-)

Let's ink something in for lunch on monday. And then anyone who can't make monday we can meet up again during the week (I'm fairly flexible).

i'm there from the 24-27 after spending a week at the open up in mel. sounds great!!

i will be around...i will just watch and let someone else do the hard yards ..the last time i organised one of these events, i aged 10 years..lemme know, and i'll be there

Id love to come back home for Australia day, Ill see what TG can rustle up and may even be there!

I'll be at the Qantas Club, at SYD domestic:

Tue 28 Jan - 11:00 to around 13:00
Wed 29 Jan - 15:00 to around 18:30 (beer time!!)

If you're around, be great to meet a fellow FTer or two - and can invite you in, for a meeting http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif , even if you're not flying that day.

Let me know by email if you're coming!

Gaza, what are you doing in SYD then?

(Edited to wink properly)

What a shame re the timing willyroo .. I opted for an 8.45am flight to MEL on that day to see Rudi. I suspect we will be having "meetings" in the SQ First Class lounge that evening, so kicking the day off with a "meeting" at QF would have been neat. I can change my flight to a bit later if that works, but no more than an hour or 2 as need to get into MEL by lunchtime. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

Now that OZ pointed me to this thread, just to let you all know that I will be arriving on Monday at noon and while I am booked solid on Tuesday, Monday is very open at this point if people are getting together

If we get this happening I note B_Watson is staying at The Observatory. That place has THE classiest library bar in Sydney IMO. And those incredibly tall flutes they serve the Hahn Premium in are true engineering miracles. One vote for that if we get down to picking a venue. Then a classic Irish Pub, The Mercantile in The Rocks nearby maybe afterwards? http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif

I am on the way to KL Tuesday afternoon http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/frown.gif

Then I will toast an FT beer to you, and look forward to catching you next time.

In case you don't know, Rudi is also in town but I am waiting for him to read my message about meeting up in MEL.

SYD this time of year sounds like fun http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif
i'm probably too busy, but sure is tempting.

willyroo - OK, on Q class tickets I know they will not allow changes - never fear. I am back into SYD Tuesday 28th 8pm. We will fluke a connection one day. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif

Ash-Mel ... Rudi emailed me a day or so back from a SQ lounge computer, so think he is still travelling perhaps?
