Kingsley’s Australian Steakhouse

Sandstone heritage building , very cosy relaxed setting , not too packed just the perfect environment for a TRF draw ! Thanks for picking a great location Peter (swatty)

We are at a steak house so you have to order a steak , but I also love seafood , so the obvious choice is surf n turf !

Ribeye with prawns on top , Pete what was that sauce called again ?!?!



Medium rare , closer to rare just the way I likely!

The critical hour had finally arrived , asked for a big bowl to put all the chips in and shuffled mixed up vigorously !



Bowl was held up above eye level to ensure no peeking

And the lucky numbers were placed on the table



Note the little tear next to the chip on the table as I realised it wasn’t my number :(

Haha just kidding , we all cheered as we looked up who the lucky number was , Brandrea ! Great guy and well deserved ! Also to the runners up !

Big shout out to all the sponsors , Steve , and the rest of TRF for making this a fun night !

I’m sure there were many at the edge of their seats at all hours of the night !

Good night, as a member of the gaming commission I can confirm the draw was run to compliant standards..... well done to the winner(s), I was not one.

Food and company was excellent!

Yes , I think I prefer the human aspect of picking the winner , rather than a number generator ( not that there is anything wrong with that) !

agreed. This drawing was more exciting to me than the last one because of the poker chips.

IMO the next one should be live streamed. That would be awesome as i know lots of us were refreshing the thread waiting for pics.

First off, thank you Kostas.

This is by far (IMO) the best GTG report I've seen in many years.

Pictures like this makes you feel a part of it compared to 10 wristshots in a row.
