EOI: Sunrise -La Perouse.... 28.8.10

Postby surenj on Tue Aug 24, 2010 6:56 pm

The usual. It's my turn to pick I think.

Well I haven't picked yet but it will be relatively easily accessible in the Eastern suburbs. I promise there won't be 2.9km jungle treks to get there... :wink:

As usual 5:30am I think.

PM me for further details of meeting place...

I'm interested but will be aiming to get to USYD's open day as well....so I guess it depends on how I am feeling towards the end of the week.

RE: La Perouse - would the doof doof crowd still be hanging around from the night before (and associated undercover highway patrols), at the time you're planning to be there?

well then you will be in the area then? :wink:

5:30am is the usual time but with each day getting teh sunrise a few minutes earlier I think even 5:20 would be appropriate.

The La perouse location has quite some promise, there are lots of options and all within reasonable walking distance (read; shorter than the other weekend)

I will be there.

Unfortunately I'm making an airport run that day, as my sister's headed to the US. Actually if you guys are still around at 9:30-10am or so I could catch up for breakfast or something. La P is a stone's throw from the airport.

RE: doof doof crowd, La Perouse is one of the infamous spots in Sydney for car hoon late at nights. Most of the time nothing happens, but occasionally someone decides to be fully sik, and the po-po tends to be unsympathetic.

Nice to see you've arranged some cloud Suren,
Now perhaps you might turn your energies into reducing the wind intensity and chill factor add a spot of colour your job will be complete :)

nah, I meant to have you in there, adds depth and scale I say...

of your wet Suren, it would not be a normal day at the office if you did not get wet :up: that said I also had wet shorts... :rotfl2:

Jenno wrote:That's OK

yeah, them pictures from the other side are quite nice, the muted hues in the sky are much better over there since you did not have the intensity of the sun coming up...nice choice.

geez, and ya complaining about a bit of mud last week...can't take you anywhere :wink:
