Near my employers Sydney office :)

I can't recall if @Mattg and I did a TR for our drive through the outback, but we managed to fit quite a bit into the time we had, which I think was just under a week, Brisbane to Charleville via Roma, then Charleville to Longreach via Blackall and Barcaldine, Longreach to Winton via Australian...

Just bear in mind that Winton is a fair drive further on - about 2 hours. The Age of Dinosaurs is just before Winton and definitely worth a look, but Lark Quarry is another 1-hour drive South out of Winton. And then there's the Waltzing Matilda museum in Winton. I think the ideal placement of...

Looks like it'll be just over 10 years after I did similar! The number to beat looks to be about 21, but I don't have any contacts for up there anymore, haven't been since COVID when I drove with @Mattg...

Good to know, I'll have to ask my fellow dining companions at my next lunch what their numbers are ;)

I know it's an external service with a fee, but you could try ratedrop.net - the gold tier would give you 10 bookings at $15/month. I know it's been discussed here previously, but essentially it rebooks your accom and then sends you an email letting you know to cancel the old booking, with...

Is there anything that having both memberships gets you - the features seem to overlap more now? Is it just Ibis discounts worldwide?

I read about this somewhere recently... despite this area being planned as a tourism area originally, aren't there apartments going up on the site next door to the Sofitel anyway? I never realised how long and narrow the Ibis and Novotel site is. Great aerial in the CBRE link. While I'm sure...

I actually was considering taking my youngest daughter to the Monster Trucks, but nothing came of it. We nearly bought the meet and greet cirque du soleil tickets, but by the time we were prepared to commit there was only one left, and I considered Gracie Abrams but I only know of and like one...

I have a better spot for points ;)

Mantra and Peppers earn at a lower rate usually, but they're in the midscale and premium categories alongside Mercure and Sebel, which is confusing. So just checking that The Sebel Byron Bay and Mercure Barossa Valley will earn the full amount of points/status points, but the Peppers Clare...

As a follow up, photos from suite seats and inside of menu on different nights.

Suite information: link

You don't need to attend. You'll get a purchase confirmation pretty quick and see your points balance go down, then about 1-2 weeks before the performance they'll send an email with times, tickets and most importantly a link to register guests and dietaries. The link is a little confusing...

I attend often (and would say I'm the resident expert). You often bump into the same people there every year, depending on music tastes etc. I'm not sure if you have daily bookmarks, you check each morning, but they're in mine. I haven't had the pleasure of an Accor Stadium visit yet, as...

Had to do similar, was using Edge and then needed to launch Safari :p

Thanks for letting me know, managed to get some. Not sure if the winery is even still in business, but they didn't ship outside of NZ before from what I recall so it seems VM is their only retailer here?

As was mine, and I even broke the first rule of fight club and spoke about fight club, aka this thread.

Was after the Chatto Creek, but not fast enough.

Heavily reduced. Last year was 3 of everything and only missed out on the 24b, but this year I rationalised what I wouldn't mind keeping for longer or drinking now. All the Shiraz is out, as was the Cab Sav. I was hoping for Malbec and Cab Malbec but figure I am only getting the Cab Malbec...
