Melbourne Piss-Up - the Derby Day BBQ

Ian - this thread - the anything but Brief History of TTYC sort of explains things! But you'd never bother. The OP of that thread is still around very very ocasionally (not Australian) .

Very interesting ryb ... I guess. I prefer the Zeitgeist that the Thorntree only really exists from the day you start on it - like being born - everything prior is just so much bunkum.

Meanwhile, (from anyone) any more incisive insights on venues or other add-ons to the IDDBBQPU.

I have no insights (incisive or otherwise) on venue other than that it's easily accessible.

Like a good McLaren Vale red, the ideas will improve with time and good husbandry.

So what are the suggestions so far? Willy beach or the garden with the railway station name - can't think what it's called off hand.

Williamstown (either foreshore or back beach) remains firmly on the agenda, and Flagstaff Gardens have also been added to the mix. But there is a range to choose from, indeed.

I do see the advantage of the Flagstaff Gardens being close to public transport and all, but having a barbie on t he beach, with the grog flowing, the meat sizzling, we could very easily imagine we're a bunch of 20 somethings having a luau.

Gag....

I'm so over wearing flowers in my hair as well - Ian.

If you hop over Drover, you might even get a lei.
