as every year (since having played on grass here in Melbourne myself in 1963) - yes, Gisela and I are there again, arriving Thursday jan-16 late, for all sessions until men's final on Sunday jan-26.

I still have one complimentary ground ticket left for Sunday, jan-19.

We stay at the Georgian Court guest house, 21-25 George Street , East Melbourne VIC 3002, tf +61-3-94196353. The Georgian Court guest house is in 15 minutes walking distance from the site, along the Cricket stadium, two blocks from the Hilton (the official tournament hotel) where many players stay.

I meet goodo on monday, 20 at 10:15AM at the Hilton lobby.

And right now, I am watching (local swiss time 3:15AM) 'our' (swiss) Roger Federer playing on the Rod Laver central court.

And after the tournament, on Tuesday, jan-28, ozstamps visits us for the day.
