2015 Melbourne.

A fun filled few days started the holiday.

We landed on Thursday afternoon, losing a whole day en route, and were off early Friday morning for the Australian Open.

Jo got to play with some big balls!

Then we watched some mixed doubles that you don't often see on TV.
We found the singles and men's doubles less interesting for some reason.  We did not get to see the big stars, you have to pay extra for those tickets, lots extra.



Then we headed out of town for the Australia Day weekend.

On Saturday morning we had to walk to get the newspaper.  It was a tough route to take.

After 12 hours in our company grand niece Amelie tries to run away!



Our athletic endeavours continued with Croquet at the Sorrento Croquet Club.

Jo strikes a professional pose with her mallet.

After an hour it is time for tea and cakes with the other athletes.

The views from the croquet court were distracting.  The members were very welcoming and it is quite clear that we have a lot to learn about strategy.

Then it was time to view the 'green flash'!
