Are you guys still keen to do a photo walk on the Sunday after the crop? I think we agreed on the Auckland Domain (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auckland_Domain) which is not only beautiful but has places to go if the weather is bad (both the Museum (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auckland_War_Memorial_Museum)and the Wintergarden allow non professional photography). Hopefully there should still be some autumn colour in the trees too. There is a sculpture walk (http://www.aucklandmuseum.com/334/auckland-domain-sculpture-walk) that we could use as the basis for our walk (weather permitting). Transport from town for those who need it should be easy - the link bus (http://www.linkbus.co.nz/tickets-and-timetables/route-information.php)goes right past the Domain from town.
What time do you reckon for a kick off? 10? 10.30? 11? Anyone need to be somewhere by a certain time that day (Fiona?)

Sounds good to me - I suspect I might want a bit of a sleep in :)

I have to be at the airport around 3ish I think, need to check for sure, so I'd be up for the photo walk, if someone with a car could store my luggage while we are photo walking lol, and do you know if I can I get a taxi from where we will be Sharon.

I will have my car Karen - and I think there should be others so shouldn't be an issue. And I am sure that one of us can drop you at the airport!

I'll have a car and home for me is South so it wouldn't be a major issue to detour to the airport on the way if anyone needs a lift.

I must be the last to see this! Sounds great Sharon. I will have a car too, not sure where I'll be parking overnight but I'll work that out nearer the time! I'm staying Sat. night in my daughters flat, so if anyone needs to dump luggage etc that they don't want left in a car I'm sure she wont mind.

Ah no, Donut, I am the last - as usual :doh:
I would love to come with you all on Sunday; and now I know why Julia is staying the night {presumably} :party:

Julia is staying the night so she doesn't have to drive for an hour to get home after dinner!;):party:
If I wasn't staying I doubt I'd drive back for the photowalk.
