Jen and I would like to invite everyone attending the Eclipse in Cairns to join us for a Post Eclipse Party at the "Apres Beach Bar and Grill" at Palm Cove, starting at 1pm and finishing.....whenever.
As it is situated right on the beach, we thought it an excellent venue, especially for those who have family with them. I can see us wandering from the bar to the beach and back throughout the afternoon.
We hope to see as many of you as possible, to celebrate (or commiserate, depending on the weather.) this amazing experience.
Could you please RSVP on this thread so we can get an idea of numbers so we can try to reserve tables.
I had been searching some time back for a suitable venue and had happened across
Apres but my concern was that it might be too small to fit us all! I think what we might
have to do is simply spill out onto the beach and the nature strip as well.
For example, I am in a party of 5 and I know people such as Mike will be with family
as well as will be many others, so the numbers could quickly add up.
But as you would know from having looked yourself, potentially larger budget
venues such as RSL's are pretty thin on the ground there.
Nobody has a firm grip on the total number of visitors to the area on the day
but suffice to say that narrow esplanade along the beach might be a total traffic
meltdown, so it would probably be best to park some distance away from the
esplanade and go there by foot.
So the go might be "see everyone at Apres and across the road at the beach" if
Apres gets too full.
Well done for stepping up - I've been waiting for the "organisers" to make their move!
Yep, I can do the round trip from Mt Carbine in the rental car. My wife and me. Can take two passengers, three if you don't mind squeezing in the back seat of an intermediate size car.
Great, thanks for the invitation. I'll be there with my girlfriend in tow!
I'm staying up near Port Douglas, I assume there is no bus that runs that far up the coast from Palm Cove? (I couldn't find one on the sunbus site), could any locals confirm?
I've told the venue to expect at least 35 people and will update them as more say they are coming.
They said if we all wish to sit together, inside is the go. Outside seating we'll be sitting at individual tables.
Post Eclipse Party
hope to see you all there 
Just need to organise a lift from Mt Carbine (and return if possible).
Hope you get clear skies up there
