A break in Melbourne. 20-24 January 2007

Site updated on 26 Jan 2007

The clan decided a few days in Melbourne during the Australian Open might be a good idea. Although we had all (apart from Olivia) been to Melbourne before, we hadn't had time to chill. We all love the place. We had time to play and for a bit of work (Paulie and Stephen met up with work colleagues) and as it turned out we caught up with Brisbane family- Jon and Asako were in town as Jon was doing a few gigs.
