How the heck did Dennis find this buried on mens downhill

Parts of this may seem familiar.

Times:

Drive up Sunday morning. Bus leaves Mirimbah at 2pm (also 12:30 and 5pm)
We leave around 9:30, should have time for some lunch in Mansfield then get to the bus.

Return on Friday, bus down from Mt Buller leaves at 4:30, 5:30, 6:15, 7pm. Should arrive home about 10-11pm. Unless Dane's driving, seeing as he can do it in like 3 hours nowadays.

What does this week of fun and games cost you might ask?

Depends on a few things, like when Buller Club pays off, but here's the rough thing

Bus: $44

Petrol: $25ish for non Luke/Laura people
Food: $40 at a guess.

How should one pay for all of this?

Lift tickets, and Bus we'll do individually at the mountain.

Petrol and Food; add the cost of the petrol and food together and divide it up at the end of the trip, then pay back whoever got jipped (it'll be luke). <---- all="" arrives.="" br="" but="" chance="" he="" him="" it="" jip="" less="" make="" most="" must="" of="" possibly="" the="" this="" to="" we="" when="" year="">
Ski Hire – for the first time ever we may actually not have anyone hiring! I'm gonna still take my board to george's on sunday and get them to sharpen the edges and wax it.

Food.
How good is it.
Here's the plans for Dinner (and by the way we're having dessert, no arguments. (Anyone confused by this, I have been argued with before on whether to have dessert. Confused me at the time. (Also, we're not having custard apples. They'r enot at all like custard.)))

Sunday: Roast beef, potatoes, pumpkin, peas, maybe more vegies. Dessert: Apple pie.

Monday: Spag Bol and salad. Dessert: Cheesecake

Tuesday: Fish and Chips and salad. Dessert: Lemon meringue pie.

Wednesday: Burritos. Dessert: Sticky date pudding.Thursday: Chicken Parmas and vegies. Dessert: Chocolate pudding.

Friday: Hungry Jacks? Haven't had that in a while, and I dig their double bacon deluxe. Open to discussion.

Breakfast cereal, milk and toast supplies are provided by the lodge, and we'll have sausage rolls, toasted cheese jaffles 'n more for lunch.

Stuff to make beforehand:

Bolognaise sauce

Burrito meato

?Sticky date pudding matt

Ok so that's the main gist.


What gear do you need to bring?
As if I can be bothered saying every little thing, but the main lodge-related things are:
Sleeping stuff – pillows and doonas are provided, but bring pillow case and sheets/sleeping bag. Also bring towel, +/- bath mat, toothbrush etc.

Also bring your wicked snowboarding skillz/girly skiing skirt.

Coolum

Fun in the Sun. Weather was nice and warm that cameras and check in baggage were left behind in favour of sunning on the beach. 6/01/09 - 13/01/09

Coolum Accommodation. 

A little bit of mini-tennis. 

Matt being poked despite invoking eating carrot barley. 

Carrot - at least... at least it wasn't Irish Stew

Anyone got an explanation for this?
