Anyway...

What good things to do and places to go would you recomment while I am in the 3 locations.

Also does anyone know of the Holden Astra is availible as a hire car from Brisbane Airport.....? Want to do a bit of driving while I am there...
I am right in thinking that most are automatic as I prefer manuals

Anyway all help appreciated.....

u can hire the g vert from the gold coast ;), bout 45 mins south of brissy ;).
plenty of members in the brissy area, get some dates, and some1 can organise a meet up ;).

Not sure about the transport arrangements but 45min away may be a little difficult as need the car when we get into Brisbane airport so we can travel to the hotel. Bene trying to find out the cars availible from the hireplaces at the airport but they are all pants. Only spied a Coupe cabroliet.

Yeah a chance to meet mebers would be great, just need to run it past her who must be obeyed :angel:

Any ideas of things to do and placed to go in Brisbane and Sydney...?

He should feel right at home - the weather in the UK is dire at the mo - flash floods, yo-yo temperatures etc - should be well at home ;)
