Picnic lunch will be organised by me and sourced locally - cost to be shared (salads, bread, cheese, cold meats etc). That's a LOT cheaper than buying lunch in the area and I'm trying to manage the damage to everyone's pocket. I figure saving on lunch makes the Saturday dinner and the Sunday HVG outing more affordable.
My intell is that Pokolbin Mountain Lookout is worth the visit. I'm dining with some locals Thursday night and will check with them. Regardless I'll have some place organised for us to take shots from above of the region in that time slot.
For lunch:
I prefer to leave it to each member (open) as though each one may have difference taste and choice or they may not eat anything or they may bring their own.
We are going there for our enjoyment and don't ask or expect anyone has to spending his/ her time in preparation food for lunch.
Spending 20 or 30 bucks for lunch there ain't bad at all.
So many cheap eat restaurant around the region, or MacDonald and KFC at Cessnock.
Shame you can't make it to the dinner - I'm not looking forward to driving back to Newcastle afterwards and you have a little further to go, but I'm a sucker for a good time and great company

As like yourself, we are similar as the locales and often gone thru that way, wine tasting and touring as mentioned are more than enough in the early hours.
What time do you think the dinner will be finished? 9:00 or 9:30pm?
Arrive at BH 1.1/2 hrs after, and I can't drink all the good drop of reds.
Hey! I can't enjoy good foods with soda only, sorry! not my style.
Driving back to BH at 2:30 is a joy and opportunity to sit on the beach with a cold beers and fresh oysters + local prawns, waiting for a dinner at a Thai Restaurant nearby.
You'll enjoy for sure!!!!!!!
