HBA lunch Sunday 21 June 2026

[Dantas]

It’s time for another HBA lunch. CaptJCool will be in town so we’re off to Lost in Asia on Sunday 21 June 2026 at 1.00pm.

$75pp banquet style with dietary requirements catered for. Most of the menu is gluten free.

Their current full menu is below but this will change. The banquet will consist of a selection of items from our menu, current specials and off menu items.

There’s a great wine list and they have Tiger beer on tap. Split payment is fine (card) so no need to bring cash.

Please respond with the usual Platinum, Gold etc and I’ll update the list periodically.

I will likely not be in Sydney this weekend, so I will say silver for now. Once I've confirmed plans I'll change my status accordingly.

 

[RooFlyer]

Desole! I’ll be in France all June.

 

[PrezRegan]

I’m down - is it possible to do the Saturday? Or is it intentionally a same day turn event
Put me down as plat either way

 

[Dantas]

I realise Saturday might suit better for travel plans, but suprisingly lots of Hobart restaurants aren't open for Saturday lunch. This was an issue we had last time. Also, CaptJCool who suggested this weekend has plans on the Saturday
So hopefully enough can make the Sunday work, noting Sunday evening flights might work.

 

[JessicaTam]

I don’t think I can make it but will keep an eye on things in case that changes. So silver for now.

 

[CaptJCool]

Darkmofo is on those dates

So people could make a weekend of it !

 

[DejaBrew]

Going to say a Platinum-tinged Gold at this time for myself and DejaBrew+1.

The Nude Solstice Swim
Dark mof_’s most infamous ritual returns at sunrise on Monday 22 June at Long Beach, Sandy Bay, welcoming back the light after the longest night of the year. With increased capacity (around 3,000 brave souls participated in 2025), this free event requires registration via darkmofo.net.au.

What started in 2013 as a banned event – with police threatening arrests for public indecency – has become a beloved tradition. University of Queensland research found that participants aren’t just chasing pain; they’re seeking pleasure, connection, and that indescribable feeling of being fully alive. Sure, it’s freezing, but there’s something magical about stripping off with a few thousand kindred spirits and plunging into the Derwent at dawn.

But seriously, if you are thinking of going to the lunch, look to book accommodation ASAP.

The Winter Feast will be a good option for the evening prior too
