Gold Coast Smokey

Post by warmnfuzi »

Sorry Ken. [-X Don't know what map you are using, but I live at Bilambil Heights on the NSW border and that's a few minutes only from the Gold Coast. Might have been half a day in the old horse and trap, but we've progressed since then - we have cars!
Merry Christmas :iroc:

Ladies always welcome, as to the venue...??? If Wallaby :grommit: Bob's is acceptable to the other 'starters', (at this stage, only Spud and Coral,) and if general consensus says that's preferable to the Coolangatta :sunny: Hotel, then that's it... FEEDBACK GUYS...???

Anywhere for me as long as I know today. Actually the place at Mudgeeraba is closer for me. But is there somewhere around there where the G/F and myself could stay? When I know the place to meet, I will ring around then.
