uh-huh uh-huh!
Just booked the tickets, my new passport should be with me within a week and when it arrives I can apply for the online visa.
Details are as follows:
Leave London Heathrow 24th September 22:30 - Arrive ADELAIDE on 26th September 11:30
Leave SYDNEY 27th November.
So its two months of seeing you lovely lot
My plans are as follows:
Go to Australia.
Work way up SE coast staying with as many friends as possible.
Return to England 2 months on.
and thats about it, Ive spent ages thinking of what to do, then realised you would all know anyway. So, like Lightning did in London, im leaving myself in your hands (
) If you reckon something would be good to do or see then tell me and I'll see if I can.
I want to go to lots of spinning meetings.
I want to meet as many of you as possible.
I wish to chase Bender naked through a field of corn.
I want to spend some time doing nothing on a beach.
Im going to this Common Ground thing too. Is there a spare tent/ space anywhere for me to squeeze into please? The JonCof International Tent Errecting Service, Mobile Skinning Up Workstation and Hug Distributor should also be fully functional.
Can I get some sleeping space on the floor/ sofa/ spare room/ compost heap at your house please? *flutters eylids*
My questions:
Is CG like Play (99% HOPpers only)? or is it more of a public event where the average Joe Human will be walking around?
What will the weather generally be like for the duration of my stay?
Is there cake in Australia?
Can John Howard collect me from the airport in a monster truck?
Would it be worth me bringing my laptop to put all my pictures from my phone onto and to change the music collection on my phone? Reckon you this is a silly idea and I should just get a digital camera and a MP3 player instead?
Can I meet Crocodile Dundee? Can I? Can I?
Who is Bruce?
I assume I will need a plug convertor for any electronic equipment I bring. Can this be confirmed? This is a code red situation. I dont want to bring my white noise generator with me only to find out I cant plug it in anywhere.
I will probably have more questions at a later date of a serious nature, but I think thats all the major ones I need. Thanks everyone
Oh, and by the way, I have NO interest in watching the Ashes in November
Im very excited!

Hey Mister! I can answer a few of those questions
It depends what you're into really....Talk to Dave about climbing the Sydney Harbour Bridge!
You're welcome here although it's not very exciting and I'm the only HoPper in my town! (It's 2 hours from Melb) But yeah I can totally come hang out with you in Melb if you have the time. I'm assuming you'll be coming to a Sunday spinning meet?
I reckon last year's CG was about half and half.
The weather will be on the warmer side I think...you may melt.
Yes you will need a powerpoint plug converter thingy

So I guess Perth is not on the agenda, it being very Westish...
We have wombats, imported admittedly, that you can stroke and not get bitten by. If it didnt bite Ben I reckon you are safe from being peed and bitten.
We do have a house full of small people who will mostly ignore you unless they find you interesting and then they will plague you with childrenity.
Maybe Ry can take a pic of you and we can photo thingy you on a camel and with a wombat

right! so you HAVE to come to moonfest!! october moonfest is saturday 7th - that would probably be a great one to get to!! the november one is a sunday (5th). weekend moonfests are always BIG! & you will get to meet LOTS of hoppers & other random lovely people at moonfest!
& the beach isn't far from here...there's the gorgeous sunshine coast which has plenty of beaches for you to lie on & do nothing & it's only an hour from brisbane! or you can go to the fake beach at southbank in the city! or there's the gold coast, but we won't talk about that.
bruce is my uncle. he's a very large, very smart man who lives in sydney & has interesting friends.
you will melt when you come to brisvegas. that's why we have air conditioners. you thought the heatwave in the uk was bad? that's a mild summer here!

I'd say mostly hoppers at cg, maybe not active ones though, but prolly 70% ish i'm just guessing though.
the weather will be hot. today we had a high of 25 degrees in whyalla (400k's north of adelaide - where common ground is) and it will only get hotter.
there is lots of cake in australia, we even have our own national favourite cake - the lamington.
John howard won't talk to rove mcmannis (host of channel 10's rove live), i don't think he's going to talk to you.
i'd say bring the laptop. but i'm a geek. and yes, you'll probably need a converter.
don't know about dundee.
bruce is the shark from finding nemo. or alternatively a good friend of my mother's.
MiG and i have plenty of couch space for you out here, as i'm sure i've stated elsewhere. we love hoppers to visit us!
We'll have miss rouge for the week before cg, that still leaves two futon's open.
we are the only hoppers in town, but we have a 12 foot sail boat from which it's quite likely you'll be able to see some dolphins and some awesome beaches to do nothing on.
we're also alot closer than adelaide is to the flinders ranges, a beautiful mountain range that's always worth a look
pm or msn if you're interested.
EDIT: Oh, and we also now have a really cute puppy.

You can buy plug converty thingers in australia, so fret not.
You have alreadyfreddy been booked into chalet flynt (wherever that may be by the time you get here...) so accomodation in melbourne = sorted.
I should have tent space for you, I'll confirm that after I buy a tent on friday. Are you bringing any sleeping gear (sleeping bag, mat ect) with you, or do we need to organise that for you for CG as well?
Now for some of my own questions:
Do you have your own toothbrush?
Will you bring me hugs from Bovril?
Who will be naked, you or Bender?
Do you have any weird dietry needs?
What are your exact physical dimensions, incase we decide to keep you and need to build some sort of keeping pen?
xoxoxxoxoxo SEE YOU SOON!!!!

Tent space from me.
Floor space from me.(May hopefully have a couch by then too)
Random sillies from me.
Not that I'm offering anything that the others aren't offering anyways.
Altho if you would like to get your gear off and put on a wig and hula skirt, I will most willingly arrange another party for you to do it at!

Plug adapters are available in your friendly neighbournood ASDA for about £1.50.
If you're going to Sydney, I thoroughly reccommend climbing the bridge (you might even get to do it in the dry, unlike me) its all bookable online here.
If you happen upon Steph's place, you can make use of the summer dress sense displayed above (assuming she's not thrown it out by now).
When you apply for your visa online, make sure they actually sort it for you, so you don't turn up at Heathrow only to be told you've got no visa on your passport, like I did. It'll save you
yourself.
You're gonna love it!
Most importantly of all:
Be sure to people for me!

Brilliant answers, and thanks for all the fish
Update: Passport was attempted delivery but as we dont know when people try to deliver stuff (we ant see the gate to our moorings), I missed them and so I have to contact them to arrange a redelivery.
As soon as that is done, I will get the Visa, and that should leave me over about a week for the visa to come through before I fly off.
Im concocting/ compling a list of people in each place, so I can point at you and say "I know where you liiiive!"
Ezz- Thats the second time you have said you dont know me You may need councilling to help forget me. I was once decribed as the London equivilent of Mech. That was a while ago now, so I dont know if its a fair comparision. I know he for one has calmed down a lot recently
Pete - Thanks for the offer of the ticket, but it isnt needed, I will be getting Roarfire's instead (if she doesnt go), and if she does go, its sorted anyway. I cant wait to sit on your giraffe though
Roarfire - You had beeter be coming CG missy!
If not, I'll have to arrange a later date to see you. I willindeed be at a Sunday spinning meeting.
Gnor - Unfortunatly, Perth is indeed a little out of the way. And without being rude or inpolite, its a little too much trouble, as well as money for me to head that way to see you and your family. I would love to though at some point, so I will see whats happening towards the end of the trip and if my bank account will allow it.
Gita: that moonfest thing sounds great. I didnt know there was a festival celebrating me!
If I can, I will be at both, but I will have to see where Im at in terms of location. I would love to come to a Moonfest!
FoxinDocs: I'll be bringing my laptop and phone then. This Lamington sounds good, whats inside it? i dont need John Howard to talk to me, just drive me from the Airport to the first HoPpers house As much as I would love to head up to you for the week before CG, I think that "doing" Adelaide would be useful, possibly so I can head off to a new place after CG. I shall have to see when I get there though. Your boat is particularly tempting As are the mountains. Good idea on the sunscreen!
Flynty: thanks I will have a sleeping bag and roll mat, and lots of other camping stuff. I should be ok to organise my stuff myself, unless you think of something you think I wont think of.
Do you have your own toothbrush? - Yes
Will you bring me hugs from Bovril? - See above
Who will be naked, you or Bender? - Either, Both or Neither
Do you have any weird dietry needs? - I only eat egg and bacon sandwiches. Other than that, not really. Im not alergic to anything, so its more a question of personal taste.
What are your exact physical dimensions, incase we decide to keep you and need to build some sort of keeping pen? I have height, width and depth amongst others. On my own, Im nothing.

Ooo, oo. Go tropical.
It's worth getting a couple of nights on a maxi yaught around the Whitsundays; you can book a three night cruise for about $400 in any of the Airlie Beach backpackers (don't stay in them though; bedbugs. I know from personal experience).
Go and see the platypus frolic at Broken River in Eungella National Park, you can cool off in the rockpools and waterfalls of Finch Hatton, where crayfish nibble at your knees, and if you're very lucky you can sit on an eel (personal experience again).
On the last friday of the month you can get a free tour around Peak Downs Mine (which is fighting Goonyella for the title of Oldest Coal Mine in Australia), and see the the world's biggest dragline.
Ever wonder how sugar is refined? Wonder no more with a mill tour in Mackay.
Go chase the cassowaries up at Mission Beach.
But don't go in the water; it's stinger season. Ouch.

There is a slight possibility that I am not actually right all of the time.

Eera, having checked the location of the Whitsundays, and have found that they are near the great barrier reef. That was something I was hoping to see..
I also need a picture of me standing next to a sign that says "Wollongong"
Newgabe: Hello Gabe! That would be lovely, thanks This time, im bringing my music 
Rouge: I know! How do you think I feel?!?!
How much is an Australian SIM card? I'll need one for my phone.
Im planning on having phone connected to laptop for email access when and wherever needed.
