I'm holidaying in Melbourne at the moment, love to join you guys,
but we flew here ( see below) and the i30 is still basking in the Queensland sunshine.
We have been here 2 weeks and are just now acclimatising to the Melbourne chill.


PS. (And just going off topic  here)......Will never consider flying with Tiger airways again after a
disasterous start to our trip.
They forgot to tell us the flight had been altered so that it left 2 hours earlier than originally
scheduled. They reckoned they had emailed me and tried to call me 4 times to advise of the
change but I  think that is bull###t.
Ended up paying a small fortune for an alternative flight on Virgin. So now I am telling anyone
who will listen to boycott Tiger.

Sorry if there are any members in the club who work for Tiger, but if you do, tell em I ain't happy!!!

Cheers, Russ

Thanks for the heads up Russ I'm heading to W.A. in a few months and was considering going Tiger to save a few $$ but will forget it now..

There is a new show on telly called airways or something and it must be sponsored by Virgin or Jetstar as every week they have unhappy Tiger customers
and that was putting me off too...

Sorry to hear about your big hiccup.. if you ever get to Tassie you'd be very welcome to visit.. :mrgreen:

Hope the Vic. meeting is a great success.

Now to hijack the thread again........
Should be fine Oz, just make sure you get confirmation of the flight by ringing them
a few days before and also again at the last minute.
To be fair to Tiger we did fly the return flight from Melbourne to Brisbane with them
 as we had already pre booked the tickets. The return flight was without incident.
But I have still vowed never to use them again because of the original incident, so
when we fly to Melbourne ( and go to Bendigo) again this Sunday it will be with one
of their competitors.

Thanks Russ

Have a great trip, and if you see a grey i30 running around Bendigo with an....(ahem) 'stocky' driver at the wheel, gimme a wave :D

Back on topic, this day out sounds good, though I only get back from holidays a few days beforehand, so I might have to wait until i return to possible confirm me coming

Nov 8th?? I'll be a bit late. I'll only get to Melbourne around 11th of Nov. It'll be my first time there. I haven't been outside Darwin much since I've been here, due to that fact that I'm an international student so every time I get a holiday I have to work my a** off for my fees. :lol:

We've planned a road trip that will take us from Darwin through to Alice to Uluru to Barrossa Valley to Adelaide and the to Melb and to the snowy mountains and to Sydney and finally to Brisbane and back to Darwin. All in my GURKHA.

So hope you guys have a good time.

Cheers :)

Yea I sure am :lol: We do have a group. My cousin is our guide he's been around quiet a bit.  We will only be there for 3 nights. Not a very long stay. Our main stop is Brisbane so, we are kinda passing through these places.
Our original plan as to go to Brisbane, but now we are taking a slight detour ;) . It'll be gr8 if we can meet. I have no idea what to do there so, I'll just follow where my cousin suggests.
