OK you Sydney people

Listen Up

This coming weekend you have a fantastic opportunity to get out in one of the prettier areas of the NSW coast and take some fine pics. While doing so you'll get to enjoy the company of your fellow forum members, some nice vino and some great food.

And the cost? Your time + $40 to $60 petrol + $100 or so for acommodation. I call that a bargain price for a weekend of fun and relaxation.

Hell if you want, catch the train and relax while you watch the beautiful scenery along the Hawkesbury whiz past your window. The trip from Central costs $17 each way for adults, $8.50 each way for students, half fare people and kids or $2.50 for pensioners. If catching the train I'm happy to ferry you to and fro just PM me.

The weather forecast for the weekend is mild to warm, with a chance of showers Saturday. The showers Saturday is a GOOD thing because you'll get lovely cloud formations to photograph and should see a spectacular sunset.

Get your act together and do it. NOW Go to this thread and sign up

Hi Peter,

Got your PM about this too. Sorry for not responding. I would love to have gone to this but we have a wedding to go to this weekend on the Saturday and get together on the Sunday.

That's 3 Stockton beach trips I've missed now. I've got Sams folks staying over chrimbo so we'll take a drive up there then.

Leigh,

If you lack dignity then catching the train won't be an issue. What are you waiting for?
