Im new to the site and with the recent passing of Steve i was thinking maby we could organise a cruise up to beerwah and visit australia zoo. Maby aslo everyone give some money and it could be donated to wildlife warriors. I thought it would be a good idea to get to meet new people and a good day to racognise one of the greatest blokes Australia has seen. Just thought i would throw the idea out there and see what sort of response we get.
Cheers Brendan

Can't do this Sat as my bug is being used for a wedding car.
I think give people plenty of notice so they can plan this with their families....I think a lot of kids would love to go to this.
Maybe in the school holidays coming up...

Well I live at Bald Hills on the north side of Brissy... Looks like most of you guys are from NSW ect. Anyone got anyideas where everyone would like to meet up. Tere will obviously have to be a couple of meeting points.

I'll be on that cruise if it goes ahead.
Will be a bit sad but if we can add to the contributions that Australia has allready done ,it would be a good thing.

Hay BRENDAN just got this GREAT message today.. Welcome to the site and this is a wonderful idea.... We have all been cut up really bad by the passing of this FABULOUS person.. We went up on the Wednesday PM (of the week he passed) and it was unbelievable and just so healing in many ways.
I would love to be part of this RUN, But could we possibly hold off to hear about when his "Public Memorial" will be? What's everyones thoughts on this?
I can get more of the BRISSY people to come aboard for this worthwhile VW Outing to Aust Zoo...
Let us know your thoughts.

:cry THE RESPONSE SOUNDS LIKE IT WILL BE "HUGE" the only problem we are all having is picking a date. There is a couple of things happening on the 23 SEPT, so I think this is going to be out. "SO" how is SUNDAY 24 SEPT looking for everyone. The following weekend is "WARICK DRAGS" so that will be out of the question.
ALTERNATIVELY - HOW ABOUT 8th OCTOBER, this looks free!!! To be honest - it won't matter when we do this convoy to honour/remember/say goodbye to Steve IRWIN, as long as we all get together, and remember "This Great Legend" (money could be donated to wildlife warriors) is a great idea and Australia Zoo would be greatful at any time.
LET'S KEEP PURSISTING WITH THIS GOOD CAUSE

I would like to appoligize for not going. But this week i have found out i have got chronic fatigue. so i had to sleep lol.
Brendan
ancientbugger ·
I got there at around 9am and there was nobody there:o Left the cab parked right at the front but had to work this afternoon so didn't manage to catch up with anyone and left at 1pm. Took a trip around the carpark to see the other cars and have to say Silver that is the biggest bloody carpark for someone to build who may not want cars around!! Also Australia Zoo is a long way to walk from anywhere. Anyway saw the cars but nobody around them so will have to meet up next time.

😵 Hay guy's it's RACKIE here. Just wanta say I HAD A GREAT DAY. Again Thanks for everyone that could make it, we didn't have a huge turn out, BUT amazingly enough we managed to donate $200 to Steve Irwin's WILDLIFE WARRIORS fund. I delivered to the Wildlife Warriors Centre Management at the Zoo and they were overwhelmed and asked me to pass onto everyone their appreciation.
As for the photo's well you've got to take the bad with the good BUT if I ever see another spontanious photo of me, I WILL JUST ................. you'll have to wait and see.
I have some good photo's but I'm having problems posting them, can anyone be of any assistance please..... I know my hair colour isn't blonde, BUT I am having one of those moments....
Yes glad you got home safe and sound ASH, and to everyone else, thanks again, and I hope some of you can make the YATALA DRIVE IN this Saturday - meeting at the BP at 5pm. Looks like I will have to lower my standards, and become a JACKASS'ETTE, Damo wants to do the YOB BLOKEY thing and watch Jackass with all the other Jackass's.... Maybe I can catch up on some sleep!!!!! Yes that's a good plan..
Have a great week everyone :kiss
:sandrineRACKIE and FERN ButterBug
