Additional Information as of 11:40pm 9/12/08

Just a word of warning to all those who are coming along this Sunday,
the gates to the public car parks have signs that say that the carparks
get unlocked at 5:00am.

I don't know how close this will be as I'm guessing that there will be
one poor sod who has to open them all at 5am on his own (plus the
fact that there's probably about 16 odd gates along the beach front
to open).

If you turn up between 5am and sunrise, and the gate is still locked,
just head down to the gravel parking on the side of the road, 1.2km
further south at the corner of The Grand Parade and Alice St, Sans Souci
just after the traffic lights at Alice St.

When the gates open, we'll gradually do a big loop and head into the
carpark.

Now, if it's not dry, as in it's pissing down outside, then we'll meet up
at 7am at Rockdale McDonalds (across from Rockdale Plaza)
