Thanks

Sorry folks - I haven't logged in FT for some time and this event only beeped my radar this morning when a friend drew it to my attention.

As a Cairns local and co-consigliere for the organising team of Oz Fest 06 (2009), I would be pleased to answer anybody's queries about our wonderful local sights, including stuff you won't read in the guidebooks (where you have good chance of sighting wild crocodiles, how to hand feed a wild wallaby, etc). Post questions here or PM me as appropriate.

I'll also aim to swing by the Hilton drinks.

It's great to see some names from OzFest 06 on the list - outstanding effort.

Wishing all an amazing OzFest and congratulations to the organisers for arranging a great program of events.

I have made it to SYD. Took a rattle trap taxi from the airport. $125 AU seems like a lot to me but what do I know? Now to plan some things to do in the next 4 days. Great flights ANC-SEA-SFO-NAN-SYD. 34 hours total. Time for a nap!

Pls don't tell me it cost $125 from the airport to Sydney CBD!! Please....I have not caught a taxi in Sydney as a local for over 10 years because of this behaviour....

Here is the official SYD Airport info for taxis - note option to prebook and list of companies / contact numbers.

Still waiting for a reply from Swyftx, asked to email them after I had set up an account.

A lions shop voucher would have been much better.

Also changed from flying up on Qantas to flying on Virgin Friday night same flight as QF WP

Weather looking ok Saturday and Sunday both 20-26c or 68-78F depending on the app you use, maybe a chance of rain on Friday.

I did a dummy booking on Uber and it was under $50. Scam driver who used the regular pickup line is my guess.

I understand that it's closer, but from the Four Points in July 2022, it was only about A$40 at most at an off peak time.

I'm a big fan of Route 420 to Mascot (or walking if I don't have much luggage and the weather is decent).

One time I walked from the Hilton in Adelaide all the way to ADL!

I do not see my name on the spreadsheet as attending the Dinner Cruise and am confirming I will be there and have made payment via PayPal.

I was walking down the street in downtown MEL and ran into jswong and Perk �

Nowhere is safe now�


Mrs Perk is titanium elite platinum status as she�s hiding under a blanket dreaming of warmer climates.

I am still rusty copper for this.

Apparently I have a couple of days to get organised, so I�ll call you next week. 🙄

Pardon my ignorance, but where do I find the spreadsheet?

It's linked on the first sentences of posts 4 and 5.
