We've got a few days to go yet. Also, when you're under the gateway bridge, it doesn't matter if its raining or not. I guess we'll get limited to covered car parks if its really wet.

If its raining we will have to meet at a underground carpark. Anywhere is good.

Wynnum Plaza, Toowong village are a few examples of undergriound car parks.
If we want under the bridge then here is the spot, I will check tonight/tomorrow that its still suitable.

Toowong is certainly closer for my shots afterwards. Either way I'm fine with either. tell me what is good with you guys. Remember, this is only if its raining. If not we will still be meeting at the airport.

Either Wynnum Plaza, Toowong village...I don't know either of them, so someone else is going to have to decide on them.

Actually guys, i've just had a thought. If it is a constant rain like this, we are probably better off postponing until next weekend... Nobody's car will be shiney for the photo, and we gotta do it properly!!!

That and i'm not real keen in driving on the highway in the rain haha.

But if its just a shower here and there, i don't see a problem.

Let's see how it pans out. It looks wet, but it may clear up by tomorrow night.

I have just been and checked out Queensport park under the south side of the gateway bridge.
Its a rather large carpark and its under the bridge for shelter.

I tend to agree, I dont have a waterproof housing for my camera and don't feel like putting it in a plastic bag.

So are we postponing with this weather now? I do think it's a better option to wait for sun for all involved.
