I thought I'd see if anyone would like to meet. I'll be visiting Sydney, Alice Springs and Cairns Aug 6-18 and would love to meet some new peeps. My husband and I will be traveling from Seattle Washington and doing the typical tourist stuff but we have to stop for meals. Any recommendations? Look forward to hearing from any interested people out there who would like to hang out or give any recomendations. thanks a ton

If you pass through Darwin give us a hoy but when it comes to Alice I guess you'll have to see Ayers Rock. There's other places about there but it depends on how long your stay is there.

I'm from Sweden and I'll be arriving in Sydney the 7th of August and staying for 3 weeks. I'm staying with my boyfriend who (sadly) have to work a couple of days during my visit. So if you are planning any kind of meet-up's during those days, I would love to meet up.

My husband and I are staying in The Rocks. Can anyone suggest a location and time to meet around there or other near by location? I'm siked to meet as many of you as possible. I wish I was going to NZ. We went last year and loved it. NZ is amazing!!! Y'all are so warm and friendly over there. We wanted to go down there and finish the South. We only got as far as Christchurch. We'll be back next year or someother time, soon. I also wish we were going to have a chance to visit Brisbane. Sounds fabulous.

Posts: 4455 (24/07/07 14:11:00) there is nothing gonna ace this ... Reply Quote More My Recent Posts Message Me Connection Blocking Invite	Hi DancingGirl and Darenas. I'm in NZ. However, I had a holiday in the Ayers Rock (Uluru)/Alice area last year. I'd recommend going to Desert Park (a wildlife/eco park) near Alice Srpings - gives a great background on the region. Go early in the day, just after sunrise if you can. King's Canyon rim walk is fab too. A 3-4 hour hike, with amazing views. Enjoy!

Reply Quote More My Recent Posts Message Me Connection Blocking Invite	I've heard the 'sounds of silence' dinner is rather, ummm, pretensious (sp?) and expensive. Honestly, I'd suggest getting yourselves a nice parking spot, a bottle of your fave drink and a picnic hamper. I was in your city in 1992 - great place.

Whether your a first timer to snorkelling or an experienced diver, I'm sure you'll love it. The GBR is one of the best reef systems on the planet, and there are heaps of companies operating in Cairns that can take you to the reef, for either a day trip or several days. Best of luck in your travels, Liz.

The car and bottle of wine sounds really romantic but we won't have a car. Thanks Liz for suggesting the GBR. We plan on taking a day trip out there and visiting the rainforest up north on an eco-tour. I really appreciate all your wonderful suggestions!!! I hope to meet some of you. Yea, I love Seattle. I've been here 8 years and don't plan on ever moving back to Memphis, Tennessee (home to the blues and Elvis Preseley) not to mention humidity. I'm sure you guys get it down there, too. Or is it more arid heat? Either way, I don't care for hot weather. It's neat that it will be winter when we come. ciao lovelys

I might have a problem meeting up on the 9th... the thing is... and don't laugh lol ... I met my bf online 8 months ago, and this will be the first time we meet irl. And since I'll be arriving in the evening of the 7th, I'm not sure I can "tear myself" away from him already on the 9th.

Posts: 17 (25/07/07 14:59:42) Reply Quote More My Recent Posts Message Me Connection Blocking Invite	Y'all are so cool and you actually know how to continue a thread by communicating with newbies! I totally love it. Thanks for all the wonderful responses. back ReflexOz. Thanks for pocking your head in. Where are you hanging out these days? Darenas: I'll be in Sydney until the 12th then travel to Uluru for 2 days then on to Cairns for 3 and back in Sydney for one night on the 17th then head home the next day. Hope we can meet. I totally won't laugh that you met your BF online. It's the tech age and hard to meet people otherwise. I'm a bit tech challenged but I know many online dating stories which end in marriage and happy endings. I hear ya on "tearing yourself away " I hope everything goes well. I can't wait to hear more about it. Best wishes.

What a treat to come to a new board and see some familiar faces and be greeted in this way. You Ozzies, and NZ's, do rock! Phill will (as I mentioned earlier in the this thread) be working a couple of days while I'm in Sydney and I thought that would be a good time to have a look at the city by myself and meet up with some of you guys. But by the look of it, our dates doesn't "match". But maby we can figure something out. RTsdancinggirl. I didn't really mean that you would litteraly laugh at me, but some people I've talked to have told me I'm CRAZY to travel to the other side of the world for a man I have never met. And yes, I've heard a lot of sucess stories about people meeting online and have happy endings. I hope and pray that this will be another one to add to that list. to all of you.
