Speaker 1 (00:00):
Well, well, well, Robbie Williams first to two shows last
night at Nicola Estate, and apparently Robbie.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Was inational yes, of course.
Speaker 1 (00:09):
A little bit more difficult was the people trying to
get into Nicolas State and get out afterwards. And they
ruined in the end of the night, in particular for
people who are trying to get home and still in
traffic for many, many hours.
Speaker 3 (00:20):
Ruined the start of the night for people who couldn't
get in there to see Robbie start the show, and
he came on.
Speaker 1 (00:24):
I think at ten to nine last night, and some
people running. Wait a little bit, people running to get there.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
I'm not sure that it's an ideal event, ideal place
to have something like this. There's one way in, there's
one way out, there's limited amounts of parking. It's quite
a walk from where the event takes place.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
Could you imagine leaving home.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
I think someone said they left from Melville or something
in nearly four hours to get to the gig, which
is very disappointing.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
And it's a bus ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
Busy part of Pooth anyway around there with all a
lot of trucks as well.
Speaker 3 (00:54):
Melon Events who put on the show last Night have
put on their social media regarding the traffic issues experience
at last night's concert. We share your disappointment, We secerely apologize.
We're currently working with the venue and the venue traffic
management team to mitigate this for tonight's show. But for
those attending tonight show, we do recommend coming as early
as you can. I think your doors open at four
(01:15):
they do.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
Yes, yeah, Gates, I should say, and people and Melon
of it's as disappointed as anyone. You don't expect things
to go like that, but that's how it went on
a Thursday night, So there'd be some sleepy people around
town today, would imagine. But yeah, the old traffic situation
is nothing more frustrating than being in traffic, especially when
you're going to something good mitt alone, being frustrated going
to work or something like that.
Speaker 3 (01:36):
How did traffic a traffic snarl ruin your plan?
Speaker 1 (01:40):
Might have just been getting home from Skyworks all those
years ago or something like that.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
Who knows.

home from Robbie last night? Were you?

the car.

Speaker 2 (02:05):
Yeah, so how did you park there?
Speaker 4 (02:07):
We did park there, We left. We got in there
about five o'clock, yep, and that was all right. But
because we were early, it was the last to get out.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
Oh yes, oh yeah, true, and there was only only
one There was only one way out.
Speaker 6 (02:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
That's the thing is, it's almost.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
Frustrating after a gig or a sporting event and you're
in the car park and you're not traveling anywhere for.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
The first hour or so, you know, very frustrated to
enjoy the show.
Speaker 4 (02:31):
The show was absolutely amazing. What an entertainer. My wife
loves him.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
Yeah, yep.
Speaker 4 (02:38):
We you forget about that because you think about how
you got out.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
And just these places that you know, hard to get
into and hard to get out of and limited parking.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
I just don't know, You've had such a fun event,

I was on a thirty day bus tour with my
parents when I was fifteen.
Speaker 4 (03:14):
It was so much fun.
Speaker 7 (03:15):
Yeah, the window was great, window seat anyway from here. Yeah.
So so we were going to Austria. Yeah, just dropping names,
swinging around them to Austria. We were knocking up in
(03:35):
a twelve hour traffic jam.
Speaker 6 (03:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (03:38):
And I turned sixteen.
Speaker 8 (03:40):
When I was on the bus.
Speaker 7 (03:42):
Yeah, honestly I did then.
Speaker 8 (03:46):
And then we.
Speaker 7 (03:46):
Ended up because it was so late on the bus,
we ended up just going straight to dinner, right.
Speaker 6 (03:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (03:52):
We went to this big hall with these big long
tables like october Fest. Yeah, nothing like I've ever seen
my life. Was fantastic anyway, And the waitresses came around
with the big style, you know, carrying two.
Speaker 8 (04:06):
Time and tunk tunk tunk in front of everyone. Yeah,
and I in front of me as well. And I
looked at my mom and dad and they just gave
me a note of approval when I drank the styme. Yeah,
I had spared sixteenth birthday party ever.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
Yeah, it's twelve hour traffic jazz.
Speaker 9 (04:24):
This was wow.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
Person in Los Angeles stories, you hear about you would
have been willing to do I have done.
Speaker 3 (04:32):
Yeah, you would have been willing to do every sound
of music too. There was just to get there pretty much.
Speaker 7 (04:39):
He was definitely a light after that.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
Big time.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
Sixteen duringan traffic Yeah, nineteen debbiing Aaranda, what happened?
Speaker 6 (04:51):
It was on my wedding day. No no, I turned
up twenty minutes later at the altar. There's traffic and
there was roadworks, and my poor husband was thanks were
still married over thirty years? Yeah, at the altar, at
the altar.
Speaker 9 (05:07):
Pacing up and down, wondering where on earth he thought?
And of course, and I'm in the car and it's
a woom day and I'm perspiring. The makeup is starting
to run.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
It was still.
Speaker 6 (05:22):
It was horrible, But I think when he was patient
with me and yeah we've been it was a nice
ninety two.
Speaker 9 (05:28):
So we're still marriage.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
That's nice.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
Well he was. He was perspiring bullets as well, let's
be honest, up and down.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
I wonder if his mind was thinking, how can I
cancel this and save some money on the bar.
Speaker 6 (05:42):
That's probably true, because the first thing he said to
me is when you signed the agreement, he said, oh
my goodness, it's like I have my real estate.
Speaker 9 (05:48):
Well there you go.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
Oh okay, less, there's a lot of side eye when
you know that you're waiting for the bride, and it
gets so that there's a lot of looking around and
no one's talking. Everyone's just wondering.

Speaker 10 (06:14):
I would say daily. I'm in the transport industry. I
drive a truck in the metro area, so I'm quite
used to traffic snails and block ups and everything else.
No matter how good way is, it doesn't get you
around all of it.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
Yeah, a few years ago.
Speaker 10 (06:27):
I don't know if you guys are aware of a
place called Q Marina. It's about one hundred and fifty
k south of Newman.
Speaker 2 (06:33):

Speaker 10 (06:36):
So it's a pretty much mandatory stop on the way
up to Newman for most transport. Okay, thirty k south
of that. Unfortunately, I am probably two hundred and fifty
other truck drivers, both north and southbound, got stuck for
twenty seven.
