Mara 3,095 Posted February 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2011 Thank you all, I am really looking forward to meeting you all. We will be there from the 13th, not sure yet when we leave, but probably around the 18th, for a few days visit to Kangaroo island. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bob 564 Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 Well! I think we'd all better start planning on a braai at my place, up in the Adelaide Hills.Mara has allowed me and my wife, Ginnie, to host her for the few days she's in Adelaide with her sister from South Africa and old mate from Nevada, America.We've got plenty of room for kids or any number of South Africans to rock up to enjoy themselves in easy company for the afternoon / evening, so pencil in a date in mid May for a braai up in the Hills.More news later.

Mara 3,095 Posted February 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 Huge thanks go to Bob and Ginnie for offering to put up with us...methinks they know not what they are letting themselves in for. I look forward to meeting those of you who can make it to Bob's kind invitation for a get together. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bob 564 Posted April 8, 2011 Report Share Posted April 8, 2011 (edited) This is just bumping the post once more to let any folk from South Africa know that they're welcome to rock up at my place in the Adelaide Hills on Saturday, 14th May.Personally, I don't care when you want to come up, be it early afternoon or later on, closer to tea-time.Mara and myself will be on hand to say "hi" and I'll send invitations to a couple of South Africans that I know in my home town of Mount Barker to enjoy themselves for the afternoon / evening.I have acres of land, so can accomodate heaps of people. Just bring your own meat and drinks along, and I'll put a few beers in the wash trough with ice to cater for any thirsty travellers.I live 8 kms east of Mount Barker, so am only 25 mins away once you get on the South Eastern Freeway at the Tollgate.Anyone that knows me, realises that my joint is a "South African" friendly place. We look forward to seeing you for the day, to just veg out, relax and feel free to be yourselves and have some fun.Once it gets dark, I'll get a big fire going for kids . . . . and BIG kids, like myself . . . . to roast marshmallows on and do other Aussie stuff with campfires.We can all grab a seat, sit around a campfire and praat die taal, with cold beers and hot koffie served regularly.
