You are not having a ANHC without me there! I probably have to drive (4 hours to Sydney airport and close to 3 hours to Canberra) and anyone wanting to drive down is welcome to come via Tuross Head and collect me! We can then go via Beechworth and the Yarra Valley breweries en route to Melbourne.

Suggestion to those going - plan what type of accomodation you want early. Anyone wanting el cheapo rooms and don't mind sharing look at the Youth Hostel option. There is one close to venue where you can put 4 people in a large eight bed (double bunks) room for a fraction of the cost of a hotel room. Own toilet / shower in room. You spend little time in the room anyway!

I like the youth hostel option, Godzilla. Might have to look into that option for the BABBs contingent....

Sharing a room with 8 brewers fed on a diet of beer for three straight days, and one toilet?
Man, I thought the room I shared with one other got a little smelly...

I'd want to know in advance if the toilet definitely had an extractor fan

That's why I said 4 in a room - sleep on one bed and throw your gear on the other. Last year that worked out fine (or as fine as four drunks in a room can be). For about $30 a night its way cheaper than any hotel (you don't pay for the tv or kitchen area you don't have). And last year I spent bugger all time in the room anyway. It aint perfect, just cheap!

To be honest Maple I want to head down with PaulWolf350. I reckon it'll be a total blast! Like the idea of some club beers for pouring.

[Bribie G]

Yeah, I'd love to come, but I am a carer and only get a certain amount of respite every year, which:







I am going to use when I win the BABBs comp and go to California for a fortnight

 

[Bribie G]

Or alternatively, based on Ross's research, when a bunch of us go bulk rates, assuming plane fares and the aus $ hold.

OK, but if the dollar falls, fares remain or rise and you only get 2nd, I'll see ya there!

 

[bulp]

I'll be going, from all reports last time it was fantastic just gotta talk Jayandcath and Lilo into donning some thermal underwear and making it cross the border ( forget the strawberries and cream this time Jay ), Hey Screwy you gonna make the trip mate ?

 

[schooey]

I believe Uncle Seth and I have a road trip booked in, but it will depend on my employment situation at the time. I don't imagine rocking up for a job interview on the Monday mornin' after ANHC will be such a great idea...

 

[jayandcath]

Mate, Melbourne is a beautiful place. And St Kilda is definately a diamond...........................so I'm told.

Might have to look into this there schwaraie.
