Seems it's still empty and awaiting refurbishment.... or destruction.... :(

Tafmo can vouch for the fact that no booking is required to enjoy 'desserts' at
the Lowenbrau :love3: Keller... or anywhere else for that matter it would seem... :lol:

Thanks Wayne and Fred, we will have a quiet toast to you guys, who knows if you ever plan a trip to Australia, it may coinside with one of our future Rocks runs. :drinkers:

It's certainly the best time of year weather wise to visit Aus, being still shoulder season to keep the costs down a bit, but warming up beautifully. :sunny: :glasses7:
