Hey guys we should do a CC meet up at Portside to farewell the Pacific Star on 15 August. My desk calander tells me that's the Ekka public holiday :D She sails at 2pm if anyone's interested? Maybe we can all meet for a quick drinkie first then head up to the viewing deck to wave goodbye?

[staceymrow]

count me in.

Ekka party at Portside sounds like a plan, except it's a friends son's 2nd birthday the next day, so we might have another sort of party to go to on the public holiday.

[staceymrow]

Ekka party at Portside. It has a great ring to it, dont you think?

[MsMinx]

Ekkat Party At Portside - I like it :D Looking forward to it guys!! :D

I guess we can sort out the finer details closer to the date (as in where exactly to meet & when etc...)

Hi, I'm from the Gold Coast.

minx are you reading my diary, mum and I have the same entry in our diary, but I will be waving from the ship but would like to meet you before I sail off

Where is that?? I've heard of it, but have no idea where it is... So it must be on the southside?? :) (We're on the northside).


(For those not from Brisbane - there's s bit of Northside/Southside divide happening. The river divides more than just the city - it divides everything!)

www.whereis.com (http://www.whereis.com). Ransome is south of the river and east - Bayside near Gumdale and Thorneside (so I can keep a check on the Pacific Star/Sun :) )

For those in Sydney, north/south is a good natured rivalry up here; not as serious as down your way.

Hi there, another Brisbanite here. Long time lurker, no time poster.
My situation is a little strange. I haven't actually been on any cruises, though one day after I graduate from uni and work full time (with some moolah) would like to go on one (hopefully more than one lol).
I love these forums- I am totally fascinated by the different ships, journeys, jokes and destinations on offer.
It rather does become an addiction, doesn't it?! :cool:
Closest thing to the real deal, virtual cruise world... you know?!:o;)

Welcome Mad_kat. After reading these boards for a while, you will definately want to go on a cruise.

If you want to get closer to a ship, why don't you come down to the Portside Cruise Terminal on the Ekka holiday and catch up with a few other CC'ers for drinkies while we watch the Pacific Star sail off?

Maybe... Ekka usually means 'assignments' in uni language. So I'll see how I go- if I can I'd love to meet all of you and see ze ship!!!! Thank you for the offer!!!:D

It would be wonderful to meet everyone! Including the CCers on the ship that day, and the ones just (jealously) waving goodbye :D Maybe we can all wear something that stands out like leis or something? I'm sure we've all got 1 or 2 stashed away in a cupboard somewhere from previous cruises :D I've got one hanging from just about every door handle in my place LOL!! :p And of course we'll recognise the actual cruisers from their cruise cards and lanyards ;)

[wombat50]

wombats are from the northside of Brissy, sailing 15-7-07 ont the sun.

[suey]

I'm from Brissie too - southside Loganholme. I will be at the port on the 15th as I will be taking Mum and frog in for their cruise. :)

Opps.. Forgot that Martin (Riff Raff) has to work on the EKKA Holiday :mad: Oh well, we'll just have to party without him :p

[acdc]

I'm from Bracken Ridge (northside), if I walk up a couple of streets, I can actually see the ships cruise by!

[Soni]

I'm a Brisbane girl, Loganholme (southside):)

Lovely place Toowoomba, as close as you'll get to Melbourne in Queensland (weather wise at least). I lived up there for nearly 3 1/2 years

you would not want to be here tonight.

From Warrimoo St. P&O can be identified quite clearly - blue funnel!
But the best time we had shipgazing was from a unit in Buddina (Esplanade) where we could see the pilots getting on and off the ships from the pilot boats.

[LouLou28]

:eek:

also from Toowoomba :)

You're right ... it's fairly cold these last few days! -16.5 or something like that (with the wind chill) recorded out at the Uni yesterday - coldest day in history .... no wonder we go cruising!!!!

It's more like Melbourne than a lot of people realise ... the town planning was done by the same person who designed Melbourne!

[Skyrules]

:eek:

I don't know, I quite enjoyed the cold winter nights up there. Reminded me of Melbourne.

Although it did say in the paper that with the wind chill factor it got down to minus 8 or 9 in Toowoomba yesterday morning... Now that is extreme.

Actually, as LouLou said above, with the wind chill factored in, it was -16.5°C.

The coldest day in Toowoomba's recorded history. :( :)

[LouLou28]

Nice if you were in front of a fire with a glass of red wine!

Hi ACDC,

I grew up in Wilpie St (just behind Warrimoo St) I agree great view of the bay from that area. Unfortunatelly can't see the sea from Petrie!!:( But looking forward to the cruise in sept - great sea views from the ship I'm sure:D

[Anissa72]

My hubby doesnt get the Ekka day of his work takes the Logan day off as far as I can remember.Why they do that I dont know but anyway. I will get back to you on that one. Should be fun.
