Thanks Lyndel. A shame it's not in the city so I could see it when I'm down in two weeks.  Couldn't get there with Sean, a tad too far with no car/public transport. 😞

when will you be here and for how long?  maybe, just maybe we could arrange a meet up and I could take you out there!

Lyndel, I will be there from Tues (late arvo) 11th to Thursday night 13th Sept. I won't be able to travel in a car as I'll have Sean and he needs a car seat.  I have a couple of things I'd like to do down there but will depend on public transport.  One day will be with Kate & Sean, the other with Sean on my own.  Maybe we could just meet up somewhere for a coffee anyway. 🙂
