Enjoy the party Sandy!!

My work-related Xmas parties start from this Sunday.... :crying: I've advised my inability for this weekend and a couple next week. No big deal. There are normally 10-12 parties/gatherings I'm involved in late November to mid-December. Can't really front for a party when I'm off work on sick leave now can I?

Sounds great Sandy. Hopefully you will be able to extend your visit. Even if they are the cheapy flights, you could look into the paying the difference in the cost if you needed to upgrade.

[sandydee]

:yes:I would be so happy to pay the extra to stay longer I love Sydney for the touristy things:)

[Josteph]

Hi Sandydee, Bankstown certainly brings back some memories to me. I remember they had a huge shopping centre called Bankstown Square. There were plenty of different shops to choose from, though I don't know what shops would be there these days. I was there back in the 1970's. Oops, showing my age a bit there. lol. Anyway, if you have the time, it may be worth checking out. For memory, I think it is in reasonable walking distsance of the railway station. Bankstown to me always looked more like a miini-city than a Sydney suburb.

[Cherie]

I remember going to the Sundowner Hotel there in the sixties...LMAO LMAO

[Mad Old Cow]

Cherie!! that frog is not Christmas

[sandydee]

:yes:I know Bankstown really well I lived there and worked there at Coles Variety near the station and Kmart in Bankstown square:yes:also worked at the Stacey st mall at Cut Price Deli:Dwas a regular at the Bankstown soccer club:yes:
I also think I have been to the Sundowner Cherie...refresh my memory on it though ...where exctly.I lived there from ages 15 to 21:yes:

[Cherie]

Sandy..Oops the Sundowner was at Rockdale..LMAO
But often went to Bankstown hotel as well, I think it was called The Three Swallows.
It was jumping in the sixties I remember that.

[sandydee]

:yes:three swallows at Yagoona from memory ,been there:yes:my sister used to go to the Sundowner she said it was near Punchbowl she went there in the 80s:yes: she is 50:)was talking to her tonight about it she said it is now called the croatia club?:yes:

[Heather]

The late sixties I was rocking at The Great Northern at Chatswood or when I was feeling reckless at The Greengate in Killara.

[miss kiki]
