queensland Meet and Greet Day

[Brian D]

Hey - What time Kezza?:whistle:

[kezza99]

Mate i reckon probably bout 8am onwards. Anyone wanna get there earlier?. will need to get there that early to get a council BBQ as i have not found a way yet to get mine to the reserve.

[Cliffy]

Hey Kezza, I can't help with a trailer for the BBQ but I can tell you that a couple of years ago I had to organise a few social functions in Brisbane City parks for the crowd I was working for...at that time you could actually book council BBQ's and covered areas for specific events for a very small sum. I'm sure that a few of us wouldn't mind putting up some stake money to help out if this is still the case, and it means we've got a guaranteed site (you could even pick the spot the last time I looked at it). Hope this helps...

[adventure_angler]

I should be able to make it out to colmslie on the 31st, shud be a good day out fishing. would be good to meet a few of u guys and get some good fishing done at the same time!!!

Thanx again for the info Cliffy. But if a few of us are there at 730 - 8 am i dont think we will have any trouble gettin a BBQ. Hey Angus, Any chance we could get a hold of the banner used at the classic to put up on the shelter?

[kezza99]

Ok guys, since we are only 3 weeks out from this event just checking we still have the interest for the day as the topic has been off the latest forum posts list for a couple of weeks now. Just need to double check who would be willing to help out with food for the day. I will supply a few kilos of snags (Sausages i meen not submerged obstacles ) so bread or rolls and sauces would be good. Does anyone have a gazebo or something we could use?

[Oztrav]

i can bring some bread/ hotdog rolls etc

[kezza99]

Thanx mate...not too sure how much we will need?...any ideas on numbers people?

[Tim a]

I'm still interested. I'll bring sauce, how much do you think will suffice?

[Oztrav]

about 15 or so who ever comes comes

Hey Kezza I don't remember seeing any BBQ's at the park. Are you sure they exist? We are talking the park at the ramp?

[kezza99]

Hey Brian.. mate i dont have a boat so im not sure where the ramo is. I am talking about the park that has the cruise ship berth on 1 side and the fish markets on the other. Does anyone know if they have bbq's there. I will go for a drive out there today to check. Have a look at this pic and tell me, this is where i am talking about.

What you have marked as \"reserve\" - that is the good park I was talking about downstream of the ramp. The Comslie ramp park is the far left edge of the image you have put up.

[jeff f]

there is a wood burning barbecue right beside the shelter shed we used for home base in the classic

[Rocket75]

[Feral]

I wont be in town Dazza, otherwise I'd be happy to take ya!

[kezza99]

Mate i was in Lismaore to see my brother wasnt fishing unfortunately. There is a dam nearby though(Rocky creek dam i think) that might be alright. Not sure if it can be fished though cause it is the water source for northern NSW. Yes it is Saturday. I will bring a few kilos of snags. Those who said they could do bread, sauce etc is that still ok? Does anyone remember if that wood BBQ had wood?..Council Supplied? or BYO?

[Oztrav]

bread sauce is me

[Cliffy]

Can anyone confirm for me whether there's a boat ramp at the reserve and if it has a pontoon? If not, does anyone know where the nearest one is? Thanks!

[Angus]

Well the God of work have intervened and i wont be bale to make it Saturday Guys.

God i wish this was my first job!!

Please take lots of pics and give us a good report.

[Tim a]

So are we meeting at the place that doesn't have the boat ramp? At the classic we were at the park that does have the boat ramp.

Cliffy the boat ramp at colmslie is good and there is a large pontoon right next to the ramp.

[Cliffy]

Thanks for the help guysB)

[Brian D]

I thinking that I might get there a bit early for a bit of a troll out to the mouth and back - but the weather man says rain.:ohmy:

Cliffy the boat ramp at Colmslie is great but busy. It has a nice landing jetty and a nice beach. It is about 2 mins x 6knots down river from the meet and greet park but it is not walkable. So we'll have to anchor up or tie off to the fishing jetty at the park. It's all managable.
