[DreamBelieveAchieve]

I have seen threads for the other states, but can't find one for Melbourne. Has a date been arranged yet?

[BB78]

Sorry ladies - completely my fault. Myself and Razzle were looking to organise for Melbourne - she is always busy, and I'm always disorganised. :o

But your enthusiasm has inspired me!!! The date, nationwide, is Saturday, June 13.

I think somewhere nice and central is the best plan *runs off to look at map*

* Carlton Gardens?
* Fitzroy Gardens? East Melb.
* Ceres Environmental Park, Brunswick/Northcote?
* Yarra Bend Park? (Fairfield)

Thoughts, people?

i like Fitzroy gardens, Its easy to find and people can catch public transport there if they desire.

[pegasaurus]

Can I please second Fitzroy Gardens?

[jaq]

Bumpety bump for MELBOURNE hubbers ...

[readytogo]

I have no idea where it is except its in Fitzroy and Im guessing theres ample parking???

[jaq]

It's between Fitzroy proper and the City - tucked in behind the MCG on one side, and the Houses of Parliament on the other. Not sure about parking but it looks like there would be quite a bit of street parking to the East Melbourne side.

Nearest train stations are Flinders St (bit of a walk) and Jolimont (closer ...)

[3BoysBlue]

I think the Carlton Gardens?
would be better theres trams near by and
there's carparking at the museum for $10 a day
for people driving so they

saying that its on a weekend so parking would be more available than on a week day wherever it is

[Ana Gram]

Parking at Fitzroy Gardens is horrendous.

[WorkingClassMum]

I'm coming - but outside, June in Melbourne :rain:?

Last year I froze .... But loved meeting all the ladies :goodvibes:

So, I'm coming, but maybe can we look for undercover?

Hmmm - off to think a little....

[jaq]

Undercover is a VERY good idea, WCM, but I don't know Melbourne well enough to offer any central options. A play centre, or covered playground, perhaps? I think our main criteria be that it is central, free (or cheap) and public transportable as well as car parking.

[jag5000]

How about inside the museum?

Cheap? : free for kids and concession, $8 for adults (no concession)
Accessible? : $10 undercover parking, near museum train station (@ Melb. central), street parking if you can find one!
Undercover? : yep.. also a cafe , playground and kids area, the cafe has a kids lunchbox for sale and I checked that they are cool with bringing special foods (allergy or baby)

what do you think?

Thanks for the stickiness, Veve ...

I think the Museum is a BRILLIANT idea, but just wanted to check everyone is OK with an admission charge ... $8 for adults.

REMINDER: JUNE 13 ... that's 13 days away :D

Who's there?

[jag5000]

Oh Veve... it's not really copying when we are talking about the MELBOURNE museum! I mean it's like chalk and cheese! little country town Brissie and chic cosmopolitan Melbourne!? no comparison! :p ;)

I'll be there with bells on! :D .. Saturday week.. it's on the calendar! Do we have a time or meeting point?

the museum is free for kids AND also free for anyone with a concession/pension card (I really didn't write that well in my last post!) .. if you don't have a card the adult entry price is $8

[jag5000]

*bump*

:D

DATE: Saturday June 13
TIME: 10.15-11.30 am
PLACE: Museum Cafe, Melbourne Museum. Map HERE (http://museumvictoria.com.au/pages/65/mm-visitor-guide.pdf).

Notes: Well, unlike the Brissie girls, we aren't ALLOWED to have pink balloons. :crying: Apparently the gases are bad for artwork or something ... but they WILL let me make a pretty sign, and have a little area cordoned off for us.

I'll try and make sure there is cake, to make up for the tragedy of no balloons :smiliedance:

Can we have a roll call for some vague idea of numbers, please? See, I'll go first!

[jaq]

Jaq, Annika (4) and Sofia (2), possibly DH Nick.

Looking forward to meeting you all!:D

[jag5000]

count us in!

Jo, Flynn (14 months), Jess (10) and possibly DH Sean.

[WorkingClassMum]

:smiliedance: Me!

Well, um we have Ballet till 10, but we'll come along after that.

I'm the frizzy haired frumpy 42 yo, I expect 8YO :cool: DS will come (definately to the museum), and 5YO DD :hair:.

I know Jag will have pink hair, I'll go looking for my pram ribbon to tie onto my.... um handbag LOL

[DreamBelieveAchieve]

I'll be there! The boys dad has them that weekend but i might be able to drop them off to him later. I have Austin (2.5) Marley (5 months)

[jag5000]

I've gone back to normal blonde now :(

I might have to go pink again just for that weekend! :D

[readytogo]

I'll be there with DD, DP's in the doghouse again so not sure about him yet :D

[readytogo]

ok he's out of the doghouse so we three will all be there :)

[jag5000]

anyone else?

I'm wondering who I'm going to get to meet! :)

[jotsmum]

I just found this thread. What great timing :yelclap:

DD (9 months) and I will be there dh has to work. Look forward to meeting you all then.

See ya :wave:

[jag5000]

*bump*

can you tell I'm really excited to meet some new people?! :D

[3BoysBlue]

Dam I just got reminded I had training day on
that I forgot about :o:(

so I can't make it :crying:

[Budgielover13]

I would have loved to come but have my first ultra sound tomorrow, really disappointed :hissy:, do you guys hold these morning teas frequently, because if there's another one organised I will definately cancel everything to come along.

[Pixilocks]

I think I missed it didn't I?
hehe oh well maybe next time!

[veve]
