"Anzacs" Saturday 26th April 2008 |
"Andy Roddick" Saturday 19th January 2008 |
"Tennis Champ" Tuesday 26th June 2007 |
I showed you the fly over for Anzac day yesterday here, today up close and personal with some of the veterans in the march down Swanston Street. ANZAC Day 2008. (Australian and New Zealand Army Corps) |
Andy Roddick last night played Philipp Kohlshreiber in what was nearly a four hour battle. Kohlshreiber eventually won the Australian Open match after five long sets, 6-4, 3-6, 7-6, 6-7, 8-6. Roddick would have been far happier this time last week when he asked if he could trade his three consecutive AAMI Classic wins for one Australian Open title. Here he is raising his trophy last Saturday in Kooyong. |
What can I do for a job?! Mmmm I know! Squeeze myself through a tennis raquet in public. There are many buskers around Melbourne, all with their own style. This guy got his whole body through the constraints of a tennis raquet! |

"Puppet Busker" Tuesday 5th June 2007 |
"People" Friday 25th May 2007 |
Fire juggling, dancing, retro busker performing at the edge of Federation Square, Melbourne. Just glad I wasn't one of the audience he pulled up to join in and embarrass! |
This puppet was busking down at Southgate not long ago. He played tunes including Elton Johns' "Piano Man" and many other huge hits. Not sure what the guy in the white top had to do with it all! |
Looking down at the 'rat race' from an office building off Flinders Street. This is where Flinders street meets Elizabeth street, and where many flock to catch trains in and out of the city each day. |

"Rock Climbing" Friday 11th May 2007 |
"Lifesavers" Saturday 5th May 2007 |
"Cube Heads" Saturday 31st March 2007 |
One of the many 'secrets' around Melbourne. This is a rock climbing wall hidden under the Monash Freeway leading out of the city. It sits adjacent to the Yarra river and is only discovered by passing cyclists on the endless bike paths. There are 3 walls of differing levels/difficulty. A great activity for the whole family and it's free!! |
I told you on Wednesday it's the year of the lifesaver here in Australia.You can see here some very 'wooden' lifesavers. These two likely lads, however, were far from wooden, literally bouncing all over Federation Square during the recent FINA swimming championships. I wouldn't cross them if I were you! |

Taken outside the front of the Crown Casino complex on Southbank Boulevard. These kids were having great fun diving in and out of the water jets shooting up from the ground last Saturday. Love the look on the face of the little boy on the very right. |
