Sharon Posted October 13, 2012 Report Share Posted October 13, 2012 It would be nice to maybe have a picnic in one of the parks on the river. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lynnie Posted October 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2012 Cool - let's make it for the 24th, say about 10am? - or would you rather prefer a Sunday? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig01 Posted October 18, 2012 Report Share Posted October 18, 2012 Count us in Lynnie - have been procrastinating about arranging something like this for a while now !Sunday or Saturday would suit us fine ..... good spot tooCraig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish Posted October 18, 2012 Report Share Posted October 18, 2012 (edited) Without wanting to throw a spanner in the works another nice handy spot is the Roma St Parklands if you guys are looking for a new spot for next time.Being in the city centre almost every train and bus from every side of Brisbane passes near it. A lot of people don't know it is there so can be a nice surprise.It has lovely shady spots for a picnic or bbq and open areas and swings for the kids.

Sharon Posted October 18, 2012 Report Share Posted October 18, 2012 That park looks stunning Fish. Will definately have to visit it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish Posted October 18, 2012 Report Share Posted October 18, 2012 (edited) That park looks stunning Fish. Will definately have to visit it.We really enjoy it...they have an auditorium at the back where they have events on as well.It's surprising how many people who live in Brisbane who have never been there.It is here if this helps with orientation. Only 10 mins or so walk from Queen St Mall. Edited October 18, 2012 by Fish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynnie Posted October 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2012 We love ith there too :ilikeit: Was just thinking that perhaps people would like to park there cars where we are going. Maar as mense bereid is om die tren/bus te vat met die piekniek gear is dit cool :ilikeit: Dalk moet ons dit die Sondag doen, ons was al op 'n sondag daar en daar was parkering...Is julle dus keen vir Roma eerder? Maak nie saak nie - ons kom vd geselskap...Ps: Ek sal 'n Bulle - vlag opsit as aanduiding van waar ons is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharon Posted October 19, 2012 Report Share Posted October 19, 2012 Lynnie, I will have to sit elsewhere - how can I sit with a bulls flag close by? . Sharks all the way! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharon Posted October 19, 2012 Report Share Posted October 19, 2012 I see there is a game tomorrow night. Whoever wins can proudly display their flag, deal?If the Bulls win, we will have to invite Jaques, an avid supporter. Perhaps we should all invite the people we know and make it a real party. Bronwyn, why aren't you responding? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love the japanese garden. There is some parking btw at Roma St parklands but it can fill up if events are on. I usually park near the Albert St entrance if visiting on the weekend.

Darkwing Posted October 21, 2012 Report Share Posted October 21, 2012 Hey BrisbanitesI'm keen as well. I will put a reminder into my phone for 24 Nov....just need to finalize where it's going to be. Nice thing about the place Fish suggested is that it's quite accessible with public transport....no need to drive anywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
