I'm visiting Sydney in August and I'm determined to get a Barmah or
Akubra hat. Can anyone suggest a decent outlet?
Cheers,

My wife and I are planning to visit Aus  in 2008 for the RUGBY LEAGUE WORLD
CUP (not that imitation thing).
Yes it a long time off and the venues not yet known (but would suggest
Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Newcastle).

Is there an expat Kiwi club/bar on the Gold Coast? ie somewhere where the
rugby mad gather to scoff a few stubbies and watch super 12,
tri-nations, test rugby, league, aussie rules etc.
cheers

Anyone have any details? I'm a keen aviation photographer
and hope to spend some time here.
Does the club do meals etc.?

Could someone tell me whether I have to book all hotels along my way from
Cairns to Brisbane or I could just drive into any city/town along my way and
be able find decent hotel/motel the same day.
We paln to drive from end of September till October 5th this year.

The games available are
Black Jack NZ$15~
Mini Baccaratt
Roulette

I'd like to think that this is original - but I have a feeling that I've
seen it all before-

Please suggest me what kind of car do I need to drive from Cairns to
Brisbane?
Will economy class be OK?
Thanks in advance!

A colleague at work is visiting Brisbane for a wedding in October and is
looking for somewhere to stay, hopefully in central Brisbane. I will do some
searching, but can anyone recommend sites or hotels on this area? Also, she
would like to hire a car/people carrier for 6 - 8 people. ...
