Ok we can save TLM as a backup for now.

Just throwing some ideas out there:

- James Craig Rd, Rozelle (aka Sydney's 'superyacht' marina. Cafe open till 3pm)
- KK's Airport (no diff to TLM really)
- Northern Beaches somewhere
- Newington business park (either Fariola St or Avenue of the Americas)
- Fox Studios/Moore Park

How many cars are we looking at anyway... about 6?

Someone confirm that they are bringing an SLR?

Hi guys, the pre-meet location will be at:

Location:
Lumsdaine Drive, Freshwater.
It is the Carpark at McKillop Park Harbord.

You'll see a turnoff to an awesome lookout point with a view of the ocean.

Time:
5-6pm would be a good time to gather.

The embed link doesn't work, anyone see a way to fix it?

Map

EDIT: Here is a link that shows you the location of the carpark. It's around Dee Why so it shouldn't be too much of a drive for most of you.

Sounds good!

Freshie is quite a drive, anyone up for a pre-pre meet around North Ryde, say Caltex on Epping Rd, corner of Wicks Rd @ 4:30pm for a 4:45pm departure? Then we could cruise up together

I'm not sure what you mean about airport...we can hang around there? Mascot is quite a long haul for most people here.

That being said, I'm sure the trip to Freshwater will be totally worth it

I guess he means the area along the Brighton le Sands-Ramsgate-Dolls Point waterfront that overlooks the bay and the airport and harbour, is quite scenic for pictures too.

Ideally that is the perfect pre-pre-meet point (lol) for me since I live 15 minutes away, but the location chosen at Freshwater is on the wrong side of town, considering my schedule that evening.

Jeff, sorry man, it's too far away for me (I'll be in Dee Why till 4/5pm, but I then need to be in Castle Hill by 7/8pm) So unless a more neutral location could be sought, I'm out for now.

I may do a drive-by though...

Castle Hill is pretty much where I live so I'D LOVE TO HAVE THE PRE-MEET THERE. However, most people don't even know where it is so I thought the confirmed location would be good for most people here.

Are there even any good spots in the Hills area?

Yeah man, the current confirmed location is a sweet spot. Don't let me be a party pooper (hahaha), I will try to catch up with you gents there if possible. PM your number man, I need to practice my prank calls.

Oh and hmmm... I'll check with some mates that live in the Castle Hill area if there are any good spots. IIRC, they tend to meet up in Norwest.

Norwest, Northern Beaches, either is good for me, whichever will enable a bigger turnout!

Chatswood shouldn't be too far it'll definitely take less than an hour. We should be hanging around for a while anyway so you should come

Are we still going with Freshie even though some people find it a bit far?

If that's the case, anyone interested in my pre-pre meet up point?

Several hours at least, and afterwards we can all go grab a meal somewhere if people are interested.

Freshies is an awesome location! It'll be worth the nice drive along some scenic roads

I could meet you at Top Ryde, but that's not really on the way for me. I'll be in Carlingford during the day, where do you live?

I'm in Rhodes,

what way were you planning on going? Through Gordon/St Ives? Over Roseville Bridge? Or down to Mosman and over the Spit bridge?
