Cairns GTG May 28th 2011

A new thread as it is now time to start getting serious about having some fun together.

Can people please indicate their intention to come and numbers.

Does anyone have a strong preference for Trinity Beach or Palm Cove over the other one?

It looks like Margo_Oz and I will be having a trip around the Tablelands on the Sunday by ourselves unless someone else wants to join in.

Hi Alan,
Sorry, just saw this thread.

I'm coming - and would like to join you & Margo on the wander around on Sunday, if the offer is still open.

Thanks & regards
Bokhara

No preference for GTG location; very happy to leave it to you & Pat. Far too long since I've been to FNQ for me to have an opinion, regrettably.

Certainly welcome to join us. We'll do the trip in my car as there will just be the two of you at this stage. Don't plan on getting back until late evening but we can talk about plans later.

I'm just stalking your GTG threads as I would so love to be there!

I'm sure you will have a fabulous gathering. Make sure to let Amy D (the editor)know. I think she sends GTG care packages.

Hi Alan,
Just wondering where you might be thinking for dinner for our GTG on the Saturday night?

Stormbird, I look forward to meeting you.

By my reckoning we now have Pat and Mike, Alan and Maria, Stormbird, Greynomad, Margo_oz, and Bokhara2.

Sounding good isn't it Alan? Can you give me an idea of the time line for the day trip on Sunday please - ie start / finish? Just organising flights at present. I will be going back on the Sunday.

Stormbird,
As I now have a tour on the next day I'd like to be dropping people off by 5pm so I can get home and ready for another really big day. You should see these people's want list!!! Still it gives me a challenge to try and see so many different birds, mammals, invertebrates and plants in one day.

I was holding off, wanting to know a bit more about what people were interested in. One could easily spend a week exploring the Tablelands.

How early do you think we can start? I could drop you off at the airport if that would help?

How early do you want to start, Alan? I'm fine with anything from 0630 onwards.

Hi Alan and Bokhara,

I fly out at 5pm so would need to be at the airport no later than 4pm (I am really paranoid about being late for a flight and would normally be there at least an hour and a half before flight).

But no matter, I don't want to be the wet blanket so if it is all too hard to include me then I won't mind at all. Really guys - having said that - like Bokhara I can be ready any time.

If it's just not doable in the time frame Alan please don't stress about it.

Cheers
Stormbird

I can do 6.30, as long as I don't have to be awake!

margo_oz, Thanks for the laugh.

stormbird, I find it hard to imagine you as a wet blanket from your posts.

By my calculations on the tour front we have stormbird, bokhara and margo_oz for the Tablelands trip.

Greynomad do you want to come along also?

Can you all have a look at www.yungaburra.com and let me know what sorts of things take your fancy. I'll then work up an itinerary and approximate cost.

Will a good coffee waved under your nose do the trick, Margo?
