Think 10.30 would be better for me.  I'm not a morning person, and if I decide to drive (still trying to decide whether drive or bus, as I'm terrified of trying to find parking at Southbank), I may be picking up and bringing a couple of other Toowoomba people. This would mean a couple of stops in Toowoomba before I leave - all takes time.  But I'll go with whatever the majority want.  If necessary, I can make contact with someone by mobile phone when I arrive.

I've been to the State Library a couple of times now, so know where to go, when I actually get to Southbank!

EDO ...........  A map would be brilliant, from Train Station, Bus Station and possibly Southbank underground parking.   Or is that toooooo much to ask??   

Marie, we can leave it till later if you want, it's not vital everyone gets there at a certain time, perhaps if we decide between meeting actually AT the Library or perhaps in one of the Cafe's at Southbank.
