Looking at those lamp posts and the timber trunks, is actually not a fan of them, and don't think they match the area at all, in my opinion. I think I actually preferred them more when there wasn't anything and it was just a white post.

i reckon they look cool like something you'd find from Poseidon

Sharon Bay? I thought it was Shark Bay.

Autocorrect strikes again

Will Sharon Bay have regular appearances of its namesake from Kath n Kim?

i was going to say something earlier...

I was over in Southport yesterday and noticed what looked like shipping containers in the sea world car park. Has anyone been there recently/going soon that may be able to shed more light on what they are/are doing there?

Yeah there's shipping containers have been there for months and months now. I could be wrong, but I'm fairly sure they are the same ones that have been there since the construction of Nickelodeon Land last year.

For a second there I thought they were dismantling the waterslide tower.

^only a matter of time.

The carnivale floats are now at SW (Photos: TPSN)

This is probably a dumb question, but why are the carnivale floats there?! Is there a parade there aswell?

Carnivale will be a SW event from next year... displaying the floats all year round in park saves space in storage..

I haven't heard anything, but honestly, King (Neptune? Triton?... whatever) is King of the Sea, and a crocodile \ alligator fits right into the park too.

Not sure about the rest of them of course, but they have cross-promoted before. Maybe they've got some sort of summer carnivale type event planned over the holidays, given there are so many rides missing.

This guy's making a lot of sense, folks.

My initial thought was that they've just moved the 'sea' themed floats as photo ops over the summer, but then I noticed the masquerade girl float behind the Tritan one, maybe a summer mini-Carnvale style parade (similar to the old sponge bob one) could be an option, though seems late to have not announced it 

Keen to see how it pans out, but IMO the plaza is too small for carnivale. There's a 99% chance in wrong though, so my only gripe now lies with the extra travel time to get there...... And the extra fuel money I'll have to pay @JaggedJanine to get there

just 'go dutch'!

Hmmm, go Dutch doesn't appear to be in my list of 'go' associated phrases.

Seriously?

(and go banana!)

go dutch is a term where people on a date pay their own way. I was making allusions (only as a joke of course) to recent events that have transpired.

I see. Forgive me, I haven't been on a date in 11 years

You need to have a chat to that wife of yours about taking you out on a date!
