Come on guys, gather round, you only have a week to go, and it looks like Sunday is perhaps going to play with and give us some sunshine! Yeha!

Hi Mara

Can't wait.

Ok...this might be a stupid question but you know how strict these aussies are when it comes to making fire.

We're planning to take our portable weber braai. Is this allowed? It's not the gas one tho.

Hi OzMania

I don’t think it is allowed if it is not gas. I remember reading something like that on the website. Please refer to the website to be sure – especially with some fire warnings going on in the area. Rather safe than sorry…

There are some gas bbq's available in the park, though.

See you there.

What a lovely day it turned out to be.

We arrived after church and was astonished to see so many South Africans in one place. What a sight . . .

Met Mara, Doortjie, Rajesh and wife (nice samoosas) Yvette, Susan, Tania and so many more. Kids made friends, DH chatted. Overall we enjoyed this outing. To the family who just had their baby, goodluck and best wishes, to all who welcomed us, a BIG THANKYOU.

Thanks to Doortjie and Mara for the organising of this gathering.

Enjoyed the day and what a pleasure it was to see a lot of South Africans. Even though they were strangers, they did not Feel so - exchanged a contact details with a few Saffers, so I am sure we will meet sooner rather than later.

Once agains, Thanks to the 2 speacial ladies and all those who attended.

Looking forward to the net one.

Baie dankie dit was baie leka! Daar was baie ou gesigte, maar ok baie nuwes! Die weer het heel goed saamgespeel. Ons en die kinders het die krieket op die sand baie geniet. Sal almal wat nog oppad is aanraai om die volgende een by te woon as hul kan......Cecile

Thank you Willa and Rajesh, but the biggest thank you goes to Doortjie and Neola for all their hard work, I was just a visitor today.

We hope to organise another one early December, which will be in the North East, for those that travelled so far today. Hopefully those people residing in the South East will join us!

For all those that attended a huge big THANK YOU, for making the day such a success!

Thanks for attending everyone.

We had a really good time despite of the sporadic showers.

Mara, you are always part of the team. Thanks Neola - we always have so much fun when organizing events.

For those interested we have written close to 200 name tags (and I know a few have "escaped" from being tagged...)
