Hi All
My daughter is in the final stages of being reviewed for a position in the Australian Ballet Company, and thus I will be heading down with her in a weeks time.
This is exciting for her (14) and causing lots of work and effort on our part, let alone trying to plan for the future, as it all hinges on the outcome of her efforts.
1: We will be leaving Brisbane Saturday the 5th and returning the following Saturday the 11th
2: Staying in apartments close to the Ballet centre (Southbank and the Casino)
3: In effect that gives me Mon to Friday to get around by tram, do some sightseeing (Markets etc) and if luck holds out, get to sample some coffee ;D
So, if any one is on / close to a tram route and can provide details, I will do my best to drop in with my son and catch up / sample what is on offer / available. I will also be taking my PDA and mapping software to ensure that we do not get too lost :
Was going to take my Presso, but have been told space is at a premium as costumes etc are the priority, and that there are plenty of places to enjoy a coffee ;D
NOTE:
The other things that I am to be looking into is full-time accommodation / home stays etc as if my daughter does get in, then she is required to move to Melbourne for full time schooling and dance. Needless to say that this is a major shift for my wife and daughter, as to any number of issues to be resolved and the problems that the distance brings with it. In addition, should she get in and like it, then we are also looking to move from our home of 18years and downsize with a move up to the sunshine coast. At the end of the day, our lives are all up in the air and will be for a while yet.

My son and daughter got their orders also mixed up, but not as bad as me. It was raining and we were tired, so gulped the sh1t down and got a tram out of their ASAP.
