Thanks Acidburn - Im flying out on monday sounds easy enough but takes alot longer than a direct drive on the ol' pulblic trasport so I think I might just fit it in if I end up getting a car at some point. Cheers for the info tho.
Hi Gary - Festival Park is a bit like the Mc'Arthur Glen shopping outlets you get in the UK except bigger, they have a Missy Sixty (guys probably not that enthusiastic about!), Levi, Diesel & varioius other branded and designer sports and clothes shops, plus sovenirs, boutiques, bargain shops etc. The also have loads of bars and restaurants and clubs tho i've only ever been in the daytime before - hence the asking about public transport as it looks like a nice place for a boozy evening meal and drinks after! They also have a cinema and ice rink there.
