Public Transport seems to have benefits in Brisbane not found in other cities...

If there's interest, I'd be happy to set up a LUGNET page with everyone's
trade, sell & swap requirements, so we can see in advance what people's
interests are, and those travelling to Brisbane can remember to pack the

Fitting in with work, all going to plan, Sat/Sun is looking best for me

I was thinking of doing a spot of sightseeing on Saturday, having never had
particularly much free time, in daylight, in Brisbane.
I'd strongly advocate dinner Saturday, and big meeting get-together on Sunday.
