Lunch anyone?

Can anyone suggest a place to go for lunch - has to be in easy walking distance of an airstrip, within 100 nm of Brisbane, and open on a Sunday?

Try Cherrabah Homestead Resort, near Warwick, they'll pick u up at the strip, not a bad feed up at the resort and a challenging little gravel strip.

If you land at YBAF you can catch the bus into the city. Plenty of places to eat there

Raglan (NZRA), just walk across the bridge at the end of the strip and your in the middle of town, couple of good cafes to choose from, or Waihi Beach (NZWV) had a pretty good cafe on the airfield at the southern end, or Pauanui (NZUN) - if you want to see how the other half live -has shops and cafes just of the western end...oh...hang on....not within 100nm Brissy...never mind!!

Talking things Gold Coast - try the Tugun or Currumbin Surf Club, or look for a Cafe called Salt - all obviously pretty close to the beach!

Need to take a taxi ride but shouldn't be that expensive, with Salt being closest to the airport .. Damned fine alfresco dining ..

The Gold Coast 'Aero Club' has been closed for a few months. Looks permanent, but I may be wrong. Used to put on a good feed.

WRONGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG I don't recall being served anything like that during my days as a WOMBAT or later in AWA.
They must be weird in The Azores Airline, fancy double helping of peas and carrots

... you, like me, probably are still trying to lose the weight put on during the halcyon days of Wombatting ... I didn't bother keeping the Mickey Mouse blue wings post 24 Aug .. but I still treasure the Wombat regalia.

... ah, those wonderful days of being accused of emulating the noble seagull .....

Its a harem!

Jaba, CC, maybe Beachy!

I figure CCs suffering the no-Bo DTs and maybe a lap in the FTDK would fix him!

PS: "a few extra bob might be the difference between throwing the leg over...or not" Ahhhhhhhh ...... I'm lost for words!

Gentlemen,
Cadney Homestead for those of you with a little class,
pull up to the fuel bowser, jump out 25m to the Roadhouse for a truly scrumtuous meal.
No flies, no mossies no camels, no dogs and no big antenna to dodge on final.

Schmacko only dines in style.
