Australian Open 2008

Once a year, Melbourne hosts the Australian Open. Now I am not the biggest of Tennis fans but the prospect of going to watch some of the world’s best is hard to ignore (plus Sharon loves to go) so we usually make a night of it and watch the two night games at the Rod Laver Arena. This year we got to see Davenport VS Sharapova (and yes those grunts are really irritating live) and Roddick VS Berrer which turned out to be a surprisingly good game, not the expected Roddick whitewashing the opposition.

I also took my Canon G9 along to test how it would handle the court lighting and how many blurs I would snap of the ball being hit at the 150+ KM speeds and was pretty impressed at how the G9 handed these demanding situations. (showing it’s true colours as one of the top notch point and click camera)

Sunshine Coast

With Christmas all over, Sharon and I went up north to visit my family up in the Sunshine Coast. Normally this time of the year you would get the daily tropical thunderstorms and clear blue sky however the weather had a different surprise in store for us and instead a intensive low developed just of the coast of Fraser Island and instead we had eight days solid of some of the worse weather I’ve seen all the way down the Coast as far as Tweed Heads with High Seas, blinding Rain and intensive wind gusts. We managed to get down to the Coast and take some pretty spectacular photos of the high waves and a few silly individuals who ignored the beach closed signs to ride the four meter swell.
