tanner Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 We arrive on the 19th of Feb in Melbourne. We would really like to be there, but we will have to try and find and of course use public transport - we are not used to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where in Melbourne will you guys be?? If i am not mistaken there is a station round the corner from Albert Park... i been here since June and ONLY use the public transport as we havent been able to buy a car yet.Good luck!!Caro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mara Posted January 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 Tanner and Caro, we can always try and arrange transport for you guys, if you just let me know where you are staying. I am sure there will be somebody that can give you a lift.As Caro says, the public transport is fantastic, but as you are only arriving on the 19th Tanner, we are more than happy to assist, just let us know.

Mara Posted January 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 Eish Pippa, I wish you were all here....this is like pulling "chicken teeth". I think all of the ex SA's in Melbourne have gone into hibernation, obviously practising for winter!Oh well, we all had a good time at the last get together and I am sure we will all have a great time this time round!

Vanie Plaas Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 Hey Mara, ek sien jou "running ad" het al van die "favorites" lysie afgeskuif. Ek hoop ek kry hom weer opgetel tot heel bo.Jy moet ophou slapelose nagte he oor die braai. Dis nog 'n maand, jy sal heeltemal uitgeput wees teen einde Februarie. Ons weet darem van 'n hele klomp mense wat gaan kom.Daar is seker te veel ander dinge om te doen in Melbourne, so die mense kom nie daarby uit om vir jou briefies te tik op die forum nie. En die weer was so lekker die laaste tyd. Ek is seker almal het vir hulle iets gekry om te doen.Maar nou ja, Goed gaan daar.Ons sien julle by die braai.

Mara Posted January 31, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 Hi Vanie PlaasDankie vir daai mooi woorde! Ek stres nie juis nie, ek hou maar net hierdie eensydige 'conversation' met myself sodat my 'running ad' op die 'thread' van vandag se stories bly. As dit nie gebeur nie, gaan mense dit nie sien nie, tensy hulle spesifiek gaan soek daarna of kyk na die 'forthcoming events'.Jammer vir al die Engelse woorde, maar party dae is my Afrikaans defnitief op soek!

Oubossies Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 (edited) Mara, I am so sorry, this time I won't make it as I am in New Zealand attending a wedding. Bruce will be attending the braai on our behalf and I know that Vanie Plaas ook kom. Moet sê ek is so bly ons het die vorige keer gegaan want Vanie Plaas en kie is soos my eie boetie en sussie nou en ons kan amper nie 'n week laat verby gaan sonder om te kuier nie. Die kids is ook mal oor hulle. So, baie dankie vir die moeite. You are really doing a good 'job' and without you I would have been a lonelier person. Thanks again!!!!! You are my star, here in Melbourne! Edited February 8, 2007 by Oubossies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mara Posted February 8, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 Hi Catz, a car, nogal! Sheesh, but you are a lucky girl, make sure you have a Melways, can always find your way with that.
