Off to West Oz for a week.

[p38arover]

Is there anyone around Freo or the Swan Valley who might be up for a drink next week?

My wife (aka Bucko's Ma) and I will be in Freo for a couple of days from Monday 2nd to 5th, leaving 5th AM for Swan Valley. We'll be using that as a base to tour for a few days before departing back to Perth and home on 10th.

We will be meeting up with some of the riders from the Mild Cogs and Two Wheels forums.

[p38arover]

I'm not sure how/where we can arrange drinks but I'm keen. I'll need local advice.

We are initially staying at 66 High St, Fremantle then, in Swan Valley, we are staying at the Vines Resort.

Think this is a good opportunity to get a bunch of golf carts, a few cartons and hit the golf course!!!
I'm about 15 minutes from The Vines, Ron your gonna love it out there!!

Cheers

Andrew

[BMKal]

Ron,

Are you flying across or travelling by train.

If you're training it, happy to meet you in Kal and give you a quick cooks tour of the sights - the train usually spends a while in Kal and most people get off for a quick bus tour around the city.

[p38arover]

Thank you for the offer, BM. We are flying this time.

We went by train last time (last year). We took our car that time as we were on hols for a 6 weeks but this time we are hiring a car.

Now I'm retired, I don't get holidays anymore. :(

Sounds good to me! Have to have shown SWMBO that I have made progress on installing fence, shes off to York to here sisters for the Avon Decent, but I'm sure I deserve a small drinky poo in between!

[p38arover]

We are entirely flexible. We are meetoing with some motorbike forum people (not many) at our apartment on Friday evening. I wonder if that would suit some?

We can do some nibblies if you BYOG.

I noticed the cafe at The Vines does a roast dinner on Sundays at $21 per head between noon and 2.30pm.

We don't have internet access at the hotel except at horrendous rates so I had to come into Maccas at Ellensbrook (?) to send this.

If there is interest in that, I'd need to know in advance so we can prepare and also send directions to our apartment.

Ron

[LandyAndy]

If a sunday meet for the roast is sorted I may be able to join in,if Im allowed to borrow the Defender:eek::eek::eek::eek:
My D2 is AWOL at the moment.
Cant promise but but me down as a possible!!!
Andrew

[LandyAndy]

OK.
I have negotiated the use of a Defender to travel to Perth on Sunday.
I have also posted in WA AULROians with a link to here.
Lets meet for lunch in Ronalds Cafe@ The Vines sunday!!!!
Please post if you are joining us!!!
Andrew

[LOVEMYRANGIE]

[LandyAndy]

Gav

[LandyAndy]

Im a LONG way from the SWAN VALLEY,and Im going to make it;);););););)
Andrew

[p38arover]

From their menu:

Traditional Roast Buffet Lunch

Enjoy roast beef and gravy with Yorkshire pudding, roasted potatoes, roasted pumpkin, sweet potato, carrots, peas, and beans and freshly baked bread rolls.

Even if you lot don't come, we're having it!

So I take it you'll be here Sunday, not tonight - and tonight will be motorcyclists only.

[LandyAndy]

Sounds like sunday is the go Ron.
What time/where are we to meetup???
Andrew

[p38arover]

I'm told the Avon Descent is on Sunday and the Swan Valley will be busy.

I've asked at The Vines Cafe at the resort if I can reserve tables but they don't do reservations.

If we should meet eleswhere, we are OK to travel.

If we are meeting here, I don't know if we'll get tables. They don't mind if we shift tables together. Anyway. I've told them we expect about 10 people.

Is that correct or will there be more?

HBWC

Any others?

Any spouses?

Location:

Maybe meet at our apartment 305 (ground floor) at 79 Hermitage Drive, The Vines. Take the road to the hotel rear car park (Ellen Brook Dr) then turn left onto Hermitage. The Apartments are the first (grey) double storey buildings on the left.

Go around to the back on the RHS and you'll find us on the patio.

You might be able to park in the hotel carpark next to our apartment - hopefully the carpark won't be full.


Watch out for kangaroos on the road.

[LandyAndy]

[p38arover]

The parkingn area at he rear of the hotel is emptying so we should be OK.

Take the right hand turn into Ellenrrook Drive, then left into Hermitage (almost at the end of Ellenbrook). Continue along until you come to grey/white 2-storey apartments on the left. Immediately past them is the entry to the hotel rear car park.

Look up to your left and our apartment is the last one on the ground floor (the one with the larger table). Go to the patio and knock on our glass door if we aren't already outside.

[LOVEMYRANGIE]

Round one at lunch!

Thanks very much to everyone for coming. We really enjoyed it.

A special thanks to LandyAndy for making the effort to come all the way from Williams and for picking up HWBC. Also a special thanks to HBWC for coming along , too.

I'll catch up with you blokes again next trip.

If any are going to Sydney, let me know.

Sorry to hear that RichardK's wife was still suffereing from being attacked by pitbull terriers. I hope she's OK, Richard.

[RichardK]

Thanks Ron, she's got a very sore hand courtesy of being bitten on the thumb when trying to get the bull (Pit?) terriers off our jack russell, will probably lose a thumbnail and where the teeth sunk in, hand is quite bruised............but...........she'll survive:D:D
Poor little jack russell copped a fair wound in the side also, he's coming good now though.

[LandyAndy]

Richard
I hope the shire sorts it out.Too many irresponsible dog owners get away with too much.
Hope the good lady and the dog recover soon.
Would have been goo to catch up.
NEXTIME.
Andrew

[RichardK]

Thanks Andrew, unfortunately the owner was a stranger on the dog beach and both her dogs were unleashed, the main attacker ran from about 100 metres away flat out from behind and it was only the owners cries that alerted SWMBO to the danger but too late. She didn't get any name as she was too stressed and bleeding as was our little mutt and just wanted to get away as far from the dogs as possible.

[LandyAndy]

Perhaps you guys need to buy a Glock or similar!!!!
Shouldnt have to put up with people that cant control their animals in a public place!!!!
