Hey Guys,
Amended cruise map and directions now online, via same links as before.
Yesterday was RSVP cut off, if you are attending, please reply below and include the number of people you will be bringing with you, so I can book Old Canberra Inn and Brodburger during Monday sometime. Thanks
Major Ledfoot

Thank you

Have booked in with Old Canberra Inn, but need to get a confirmation call back from them because of the amount of people.
Brodburger doesn't take reservations, so it is a case of just showing up and ordering. Plenty of parking but tables are limited.
timbo
Not so sure about plenty of parking at Brodburger! Danilo mentioned yesterday that the Bus Depot Markets are open 10am - 4pm EVERY SATURDAY & SUNDAY IN DECEMBER UNTIL CHRISTMAS! That may throw a spanner in the works!

Someone bring a passenger. The passenger can drive your car while you order. Once you've ordered, you can drive the next person's car. That way we can all order but continue to circle the car park endlessly.
paul0075
Well that's a pain in the arse. Well there is overflow parking on Wentworth Av.
jamesinc
I've been to Brodburger in the past while the markets are in operation, and not had trouble parking. It might be hard to get a bunch of contiguous spaces though.
paul0075
I don't think it's too drastic if we end up without contiguous parking, as there will be other opportunities for photos elsewhere

Christmas markets are particularly bad most carparks in the surrounding areas are also full and traffic in and out get heavily congested. They have however just put in a second entry point at the far end of the carpark so that may help. Definitely won't be getting any photo ops in the area or any kind of group parking! We could get our food take away and head to telopia park to eat and take photos?
paul0075
That sounds like a good plan B.

Finally heard back from Old Canberra Inn. They can't give us a booking for a group our size for when we want it and suggested that someone turns up early to grab some space and that 6 pm is also a fairly quiet time for them.

Hmm, might be best to do a big order online and have someone pick it up while another circles the carpark then bring it back to Telopia.

Or do fish and chips in Yarralumla. (my fav lol)
paul0075
Fish and Chips at Yarralumla was my initial thought. Brodburger seemed a bit more interesting.
Well plan B can be the Fish and Chips in Yarralumla. Just don't expect good parking :)
Ben
Yeah, parking will probably be a pain in both areas.

For a city planned around the car, we do a pisspoor job at parking facilities
