Hey Sydney folks! Anyone have opinions about the Panania area? The wife and I are looking to maybe move there, but it's hard to find specific info that's not Blacktown council...
Well I'm not too fussed where we go as long as it isn't too pricey, is relatively accessible for most/all of us and we'll be able to hear each other talk.

I was just going to make a WhatsApp dinner group and message people on that during dinner.
Can't decide if summernats was the worst part about living in canberra, or the fact that summernats wasn't the worst part of living in canberra was the worst part of living in canberra.
edit: I'm pretty sure it's always been family-friendly, for a particular type of family.
Just for interest, here are the T&Cs for Summernats:

Lmao, respect for women. Lmfao, no alcohol.
Things might be a bit better than they used to be, but crowds of drunken sunburned bogans chanting "tits out for the boys / flash your gash" at the women in the cars cruising around is still commonplace.

I voted twice on different devices and it looks awkward on the page.
Sorry.

Oh, yea, Chimac is good. Go there. Nice pub next door too.
I ate there when I was seeing family recently. It was decent.
Sorry i didn't shout out to anyone in Melbourne I did not have the time to catch everyone in town.
I'd also been drinking at the Drunken Poet which is alright but maybe not that much space depending on how many you've got or when you go.

It's coming here. It's going on a nationwide tour including a small isolated town. You're not missing out..
You're not breaking them, you're giving useful structural integrity testing with immediate results.
On the one hand I really enjoyed the food there, on the other hand, it probably makes sense to go somewhere we haven't been to before.

I'm not sure what exactly that means though.
I imagine it was a reduction in any booth-babe equivalents and (openly?) gang entrants?
At the very least, hanging out around engines and on asphalt at the height of summer is not my idea of a good time.
So I've never been.
... Perhaps it's just a reduction in alcohol at the event.
That might have worked.

Yes but how many are still allowed to drive them?
