This just in:

Sydneysiders will meet at Thornleigh McDonalds at 7.30am on Sunday 1st February 2015.

We will head off from there to meet the Newcastle LOST fraternity in Morriset (ETA 9am) via Old Pacific Highway and then join on the M1 halfway through. We will then continue on to Awaba House Restaurant.

Situated on Lake Macquarie’s picturesque waterfront, Awaba House is an elegant estate steeped in history and natural beauty. It houses the celebrated conservatory café and restaurant, with its distinct art-deco interior and magnificent views of the sculptural garden and lake. Specialising in modern Australian cuisine, diners are invited for a spot of tea and brunch throughout the week, whilst fine-dining is reserved for Friday and Saturday evenings.

Space in the restaurant is strictly limited and places are based on a first-come first-served basis!
