Other Stuff
Please
understand that Cedar Getters is a farm.
A really nice one, but a farm none the less. That being said, there will be flies, there
will be mosquitoes, there may even be ticks and snakes. Just be prepared. The ceremony is out in the sun *fingers
crossed*, so if you don’t handle it well (like Brossie) a hat, and an umbrella
could be a good idea.
The party
will be in a marquee, the toilets will
be poratloos and shadows, there will be water and soap. A
flushing toilet will be available for anyone over 80 or those in a large white
dress.
THERE IS NO MOBILE RECEPTION. There is also no TV reception and no phone line at our shack. Yes, primitive we know, but really really nice on the weekends.
There are no cabs in Killarney, so if you are
planning to get full of the celebration spirit, catch the bus. Our local
copper, Brad, is very friendly, and would love to stop you at any time to have
a chat. You have been warned.
Access to Cedar
Getters
If you plan
to drive to the wedding, just like cobblers children have no shoes, our road is what you would
call.....rustic. We recommend a high
clearance vehicle (Toyota RAV4, Ford Territory, Toyota Kluger, Honda CRV etc)
however, if it is dry and if you have a town car you aren’t particularly
precious about (or have hired) a Nissan Tida has made it to our shack without
drama.
Our place is two hours drive from Brisbane, spectacular scenery and great things to see on the way. Keep an eye on the website, where we will post or link to great drives to and from the party.
Wet Weather Plan
Keep an eye
on the website. If it rains a bit, we’re
still on. If it rains a lot we have an
alternative venue in Killarney. Buses
will still run, there will still be a party.
Gumboots might be a good idea!
Cold. In summer.
The farm is
at 800m plus above sea level. It will be
cool in the evening. We hope the day will
be fine and sunny. 26ish degrees, and
hot in the sun. But when the sun goes
down....
It will be
cold. And proper cold. So bring coats, scarves, maybe some alternate
shoes and warm trousers if you are wearing a dress. This is not a joke. We have had a new years eve here that was 4
degrees Celsius. Take this under
advisement.
Camping, wild camping and not so wild accommodation
If you want
to wild camp, there is plenty of room on our place. Let us know, and plan to arrive Friday and we
can point you in the right direction. We
can probably set up an iron and access to a hot shower before the wedding
too.
Queen Mary Falls Caravan Park has great camping and hot showers, our bus will be picking up from there. Killarney View Caravan Park is good too, and will be the first port of call for the bus as well.
The nearest
accommodation to Cedar Getters is pretty much booked out, if you have a big
group The Barracks is still available, however, there are heaps of places in
Killarney to book. If you are working on
a limited budget, give us a call and we
can probably find you a bed or a space to roll out your swag. Have a look at Airbnb as well. Surprising I know!
If all else
fails there is always the option of rolling out your swag on the verandah or
near by.
Little ones
Feel free to bring kids, but remember the above
limits. We can totally give you contacts
for great baby sitters, but sometimes it is nice to get away without your
littlies, and lets face it, a hangover on Sunday with small children WILL be
challenging.
Gifts
Given that
we have been together for nine years, we pretty much have all the practical
wedding present stuff. Along with that we know that this isn’t a cheap wedding
to come to, we have made almost everyone travel to here (even us!) and that
isn’t cheap at all.
Given that,
we don’t need you to give us a
gift. We just want you to be here.
If that is
really something that doesn’t sit well with you, our style is for things that
are good quality, coloured white, gold or clear.
Because
David is off on his trip through Europe and central Asia on his motorbike, gift
vouchers from Flight Centre would be great.
Because
Brossie is staying home (for most of it), vouchers from Freedom Furniture (for
an outdoor setting) would be equally well received.
And anything you think we need, books, art, music..... you know us, you know what we like.
(If you’re feeling REALLY flush, a couple of heifers would be good)
