The Aussie Wedding

Hi All




Here's some information about the wedding in Australia. We can't wait to see all of you on our Big Day!

Just thought I'd pop some details in here about the wedding here so that you all know how to get there, where to stay etc. So here goes:

Venue


We're having the wedding ceremony and the barbie afterward at my Mum and Dad's place - 271 Old Byron Bay Road, Newrybar, 2479. If you're heading from Brisbane, go south on the M1 past the Byron Bay turnoff, over the big hill at St Helena, past the Bangalow turnoff, then about 4 km along there you'll see Broken Head Road to your left, and very soon after that put your blinkers on to turn left into Watson's Lane. Go all the way along Watsons Lane and at the end turn right. Mum and Dad's house is the first right - look for a big gravel driveway.


Accommodation


Newrybar is a really small village about 10km from Byron Bay. However, if you want to stay really close by, Bangalow (5km) or Coopers Shoot (2km) are your best bets.

Coopers Shoot - if you do a google search, plenty of places are listed.

And then there's always the option of camping onsite - my folks have 5 acres and you're most welcome to put up a tent. We'll keep you fed and watered! By the way, if you have any fold up camping chairs, bring them along and let me know about it when you RSVP please!

Wedding Details

We're having a ceremony at 4pm, followed by hours of drinking and being merry. There aren't too many cab companies in the area but I will endeavour to warn the company of our need for perhaps one of their cars for the evening. Dress code is casual but if you love to dress up, go for it!

The gift thing is a bit difficult - we're doing so much travel at present, which is an expensive process, SO.... we were hoping you guys could help us out. It would be really helpful for us if you could lend a hand toward our travelling lifestyle. (cheeky!!!) Any contributions will be very happily received. However, if you'd like to get us a gift, we love to receive them. Really we just want your company though!
