Ok!! cause we are all so un-decided ima come up with something!! seeings i havent put my two cents in yet LOl i have a few couple of hours so ill see what i can find!

i like the idea of going one place and staying for 2 nights its better drive on a friday i say stay the night stay the sat night and come home sunday!! i think that would be good.

did u just read my last post that aint undecided. i just think it would suck to have to drive 8 hrs home after 2 days of partying

I did ya little sh*t

But i also read everyone eles's post & like a lot them I'd rather stay somewhere for two night not the one and have to drive most the way home.
Agh well its up to you guys anyways im not 100% commited.

stayin in the same spot for 2 nights sucks. If we do it the other way its the best of both worlds (comprimising), we get to meet with sydney people and get to see Byron and no huge drive home. anyway let the people decide remember the word comprimise

Simon's Idea seems a good'un ...

Hadn't thought of having to drive 8 hoursÂ¿ back after a few days of partying.. bugger that for a joke..

soo ... Simon says put your hands on your head ... Simon says put your name on the list if you like this plan;

Day 1 - Friday) Drive to either Coffs or Port Macquarie, get camp site. Stay in Cabins @ caravan park or summat (*so we don't get hurt by the mozzies... Noone likes to see Yang cry

hehe j/k)
Meet up with any sydney ppl. do the 3 p's. sleep a little.

Day 2 - Saturday) Drive back up to Byron get camp site play during the day (fishing, beach games, jetskiing?, surfing? etc) Go to local backpacker bar at nite for more festivities.

Day 3 - Sunday ) Then the next day just relax till afternoon and then a cruisey 1 or 2 hr drive home depending on where you live.

1.) Simon
2.) Michael

i will "meat" hehe up with use at byron and have a nice BBQ or something

Post by **BorepYano** » Tue Oct 23, 2007 4:51 pm

i'm keen on simon's idea as well

my original idea was so we get to spend a day with the nsw ppl, reckon it would look pretty cool to have ftos from both states together lol.

so i guess to comprimise on that side... we can leave relatively early on firday, and get there early arvo, and leave a bit later than we are supposed to on saturday, and skip the "play" (as michael put it) or at least most of the "play", but do the back packers.... bar... yeah thats it. lol
and do the beach stuff on sunday before we leave, since we can virtually leave as late as we want, since it is such a short drive.

so simon's idea.

so simon's idea.

yeah it also good, because the ppl that cant make the whole cruise can at least can make half it. so all we need to really sort out is the dates. dont know who's idea but i think it would be best leaving either friday mornin and comin back sunday night or leaving saturday morning and comin home monday night doesnt really bother me either way just wateva suits you guys

Im up for leave early (leave by 7am) sat morn and get home say 8-9pm mon night...

or maybe we could tie it in with a public holiday so that ppl dont have to ask for the day off?? i.e. Australia day cruise..

I dont think we'll be having to big of nights... not only do we have to drive the next day (thats the whole point of this) but we can also drink all we like in qld...

that said there will be drinking... but i wouldnt say enough will be consumed to make you dread a 6 hour cruise home...

Im still up for a 5-6hour drive down, then unpack and settle in... have fun then drive the 5-6hours back again...

too much hassle unpacking, then packing, then driving, then unpacking, then packing then driving...

I still like Simons plan... But Australia day would be a good time for it..

It shouldn't be any hassle to pack / unpack etc ... surely about the most we'd be taking would be a few essentials (toothbrush/toothpaste) & a couple of changes of clothes.. & maybe a towel.. I could understand if we were camping for a week or something..
I'd have thought the biggest problem with that would be having to book accommodation twice..

As for the drinking, I'm sure Yang would disagree with you

& the weekend would be pretty full on even without insanely huge nights & little sleep, so we probably wouldn't feel up for a 6 hour drive home.. I think the main point of it isn't so much the driving.. we can drive all we like in QLD .. its more about the bondage ... errr ... *bonding lol ... & hangin out / doin stuff outside the normal sh*t.. & of course the backpackers

FtoSam · Post by **FtoSam** » Wed Oct 24, 2007 1:59 pm

Lol... not much in the way of backpackers places down there... maybe one or two in coffs but none in Port or Taree...

I just didnt wanna spend part of each day driving to the next destination... just having one day for just relaxing and doing sh*t...

Post by **I8A4RE** » Wed Oct 24, 2007 5:18 pm

I agree MR Charisma. sam we aint stayin in taree bro.....im sorry your mum is great and all but i think we just wanna break from her jok.

Sam i do like your idea on the Australia day idea. Does this suit everybody????????

Leave early saturday mornin (round 7am or so) arrive in coffs approx 1-2pm. spend arvo nite and morning with sydney guys who want to join.
leave coffs back to byron round 12 on sunday. reach byron round 4pm
spend arvo nite and whole of next day in byron leave when eva you feel and only short trip home. ill think of leaving in the arvo round 4 getting home round 5pm monday night.

that said there will be drinking... but i wouldnt say enough will be consumed to make you dread a 6 hour cruise home...

Im still up for a 5-6hour drive down, then unpack and settle in... have fun then drive the 5-6hours back again...

too much hassle unpacking, then packing, then driving, then unpacking, then packing then driving...

i'm offended... i look horrible with sunnies on.

Lol... Coffs sounds the goods...

But byron?? Coffs is a lot better...

Im still up for the spend two nights in one place...

It also works better from point of view for NSW club members... Dont know if they'd want to make the trip up just for a night...

two nights chillin out together would be much better IMO

Post by **Bennoz** » Thu Oct 25, 2007 9:47 am

Im up that way over Xmas / nye.

Im in Yamba (just south of Byron) from the 22nd to the 27th, then I'll be in (or just west of) Byron until the 3rd or 4th...

Australia Day I'll be at Big Day Out.

good point Ben, I bet there might be a few members going BDO, so maybe Aus Day isn't the best time..

FtoSam · Post by **FtoSam** » Thu Oct 25, 2007 11:55 am
