The Hilton OTP BAR are now from $370pn - so 20% of that still makes me nudging $300pn - something I prefer not to pay at this point in time for a few hours shut eye given a likely pub-club crawl that evening

Maybe someone has a corporate rate they can book for an employee who is going through interviews that weekend
Well anyway I have booked my luxurious Saturday night getaway at the Hotel Unilodge on Swanston. It was $89 for the studio room however thanks to Hotelclub's free $50 and their bonus $10 birthday giveaway I ended up paying only $29 for the night (which I will probably use for only a few hours anyway) so good result for me and that $200+ saved, can go towards a nice room later on in my travels.
I've changed plans slightly from my last posting here; I'm now leaving MEL dep 1610h on QF826 to CBR connecting to QF962 dep 1835h back to BNE.
As a consequence, I'll be joining the group for Dinner with the Industry, as well as the Sunday morning tram ride to St Kilda and brunch at the undecided-aptly named Greasy Joes.
Still undecided whether to kick-on with the pub crawl after the dinner. Considering I'll get the drink-like-a-fish allowance the next day on J back home (notwithstanding J lounge in MEL and QP in CBR), perhaps I'll forgo it.
For those that have not already responded - this is just a gentle reminder to let me know if you want to join us for lunch at Station Pier on Saturday. If you are bringing meaningful others, let me know how many. I will be ringing the restaurant Tuesday to confirm numbers, so please get back to me ASAP if you want to attend.
For those flying in on Saturday morning, if you catch the Skybus from MEL to Southern Cross Station (Spencer St), it would be a short walk down Spencer St to catch the #109 tram down to the pier for lunch. I think if you are arriving as late as 11am, you would still make it to the restaurant in time (hand luggage only assumed ).
