CaptOblivious Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 I mentioned this once some months ago, but since then we have gained many new Aussie members. So I'll mention it again :D I'm gonna be in Brisbane for the (entire) month of July with my wife and my baby girl. Anyone else here think they might be in that neck of the woods sometime about then? I'd love to meet up for lunch or the like. Link to comment
CaptOblivious Posted April 4, 2009 Author Share Posted April 4, 2009 Bump! I know we have at least one member now who lives in Brisbane, so…still looking to meet some of y'all! Link to comment
alpineaustralia Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 No chance of you making your way down to Sydney? There is a bunch of us down here. Link to comment
ChrisV Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 Yup - I'm in Sydney also and I can not see myself being in Brisbane during that time - my first child is due at the end of the month so I guess that rules me out for any travel!!! :-\ Link to comment
Bernard Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 Chris - Congratulations on being a Dad. Just wondering, is there a Sydney Train Club? Link to comment

Thanks Bernard - it is very exciting....and scarey at the same time! :D :-\ Link to comment
ChrisV Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 Chris - Congratulations on being a Dad. Just wondering, is there a Sydney Train Club? I'm not a member of any club but I do know there are some N Scale clubs around....specialised Japanese ones I really don't know - can anyone enlighten the situation? Link to comment
alpineaustralia Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 The N Scale club specialises in freight. See the post called Revenge of Dr Yellow Link to comment

bikkuri bahn Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 Capt, make sure to ride (or at least photograph) Queensland Rail's Tilt Train- the fastest trains in Australia and the closest thing to JR Shikoku's 2000 series DMU without going to Japan! Link to comment
CaptOblivious Posted June 19, 2009 Author Share Posted June 19, 2009 Capt, make sure to ride (or at least photograph) Queensland Rail's Tilt Train- the fastest trains in Australia and the closest thing to JR Shikoku's 2000 series DMU without going to Japan! We were going to ride it to Cairns until we saw the price and the time required…I'll see if I can photograph it though, thanks! I would like to do this, though! http://www.theworkshops.qm.qld.gov.au/exhibitions/events/pdf/anniversary_steam_train_2009.pdf Link to comment
Bernard Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 Don - You're going to Cairns! That is such a beautiful area and I hope you are going to the Great Barrier Reef. They have jet boats tours which includes scuba diving (and intro to scuba if you never went diving before) What you will see underwater will be a life time experience. I envy you! Link to comment
alpineaustralia Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 Don will you be taking a mobile (cell) phone with you? Link to comment
CaptOblivious Posted June 21, 2009 Author Share Posted June 21, 2009 Bernard: We were going to Cairns. It's too expensive, so I don't think we will. But we will see the reef! That's for sure. And ride a steam excursion train :D Alpine: We'll be leasing some yes; the ones we have don't work in Oz. As soon as we have a number, which, God willing, should be the same day we arrive (3rd), I'll PM you the number. Can you recommend a telcom? Link to comment
alpineaustralia Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 No problems Don. Looking forward to it mate. All of the telecos are pretty much the same. I'd buy a pre-paid sim card that you can recharge Vodafone is as good as any I guess. Link to comment
Bernard Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 Doug - I am PM you with info on another club in Australia. I haven't received permission yet to put their link on the forum so I won't. Link to comment
