The Travel Thread

Doing a day trip to Melbourne today. Have just been to the Brunettis on Flinders Lane. Just as impressive as the original one on Lygon St !

Sort of glad there isn't something like Brunettis in Sydney as i would be there just about every second day.

Yeah I asked someone yesterday why they haven't branched out into Sydney. They reckon it wouldn't work in Sydney.

In Melbourne it's no big deal. It would potentially be a w@nkfest in Sydney.

Off to Gold Coast in less than two weeks for family holiday I can’t wait

[horrie hastings]

The stay at Cuppits winery was fabulous, accommodation was superb, food at the restaurant excellent, the cellar door experience A1, could not fault the stay at all.

Will keep this one intentionally brief but I will be travelling to Japan shortly to collect my daughter. Will also be attending a good friend's 60th birthday. That is all

We are having a wonderful time here on the NSW/QLD border and talk has turned to our next holiday We are thinking of Tasmania in the summer Getting a car and driving around it Hobart Launceston Devonport St Helen’s Penguin and another place I sadly cannot mention but there is a song by an iconic Aussie band named after this place Anyway best go back to sleep as I want to be up early as we are heading to Nimbin tomorrow

Vincentia booked for a couple of days late November, the better half's old school mates have booked this, a nice big place a block away from the water and nice BBQ and back yard area, have stayed at this property before and its great as you don't to bring anything extra apart from food and drink, i was planning for a nice November break up the Mid North Coast but the group organised this down south so might to try add a few days before or after the group catch up but really would prefer the South Coast in Feb/ March when a lot better for beach/ swimming.

Just booked dinner at the Union Bank in Orange as when we booked the trip to Orange i had forgotten it was the Fathers Day weekend so made sure we had a booking at this stunning restaurant as didn't want to miss out seeing we are only there 2 nights. Haven't booked anything else yet, may try and extend an extra day in Orange but will most likely just do Wellington Caves and have a couple of nights in Mudgee on the way back but still up in the air at the moment apart from the two night stay in Orange.

Wellington Caves tours and accommodation booked for after Orange now so things falling into place now.

Good stuff Horrie. I still haven’t done anything about any travel this year or next. The year’s going so fast so it’s in the back of my mind that decisions will have to be made soon.

Heading to Sydney for the Sydney marathon if that counts. Limoncellos and spaghetti at Tony and Bill's afterwards?

[horrie hastings]

Uneventful drive to Orange but geez the road is basically a goat track in parts, lots of road kill everywhere, kangaroos, wombats, foxes and rabbits .
Accomodation very nice and a lovely tasting platter on arrival, looking forward to dinner tonight at the Union Bank and checking out a few wineries tomorrow. Already called into one on the way at Milthorpe and my credit card is already groaning. Beautiful jonquils and daffodils in bloom at the moment.
