I'll be there. But is on all day, from 11am? It seems quite early... I could be there at that time though, just wondering...

It is when the garage manager is available to escort you around. This isn't an open day, it is a group tour of all parts of the garage. She cannot waste a whole day waiting for individual people to turn up, and no-one is allowed in a working garage unescorted

Ok, that makes sense... I'm having slight second thoughts on going, due to the far distance and the number of buses i'll be needing to catch! But i really do want to go... I do class myself as a child (i'm 12), can i still go without an adult, (unsupervised on travel/depot*)

What area do you come from, maybe you could meet up with another member of the group from that area and come with them.

You will be OK on your own as long as you follow all instructions given to you regarding safety and stay in the group

Count me in,

Where's best to park if I'm driving over? & where will we be meeting on the WA garage site?

There is normally spaces in the garage car park at 11am or in Carl Street, everyone will have to go to the reception initially to book in an get a hi-vis to wear

When we go to reception Tony have we got to say we're here for the Garage Tour :) and do get to keep the hi-vis vest's or are we just borrowing them :)
