Sunday Nov. 14th: Tickets were $50 and good value at that. He had sold out last year but there were plenty of tickets unsold this year. It meant that it was easier to get a close view, so iIwas not complaining. The city of Melbourne paid $3 Million appearance money and reckon that he generated about $50 Million for the city last year. Great money if you can get it. Yesterday we had 40 mils of rain and today it was overcast. Where is the sunshine? I have only five weeks left and am getting desperate! We have had the wettest winter for over 20 years. Just my luck and it does not help when everyone says last year it was so hot...
On the way in we were searched for cameras but the old 'tourist from Ireland' story worked. I followed Sergio for eight holes and then followed Tiger from the third until the end. He could not sink a put and at one stage was ten shots behind the leader. Yet he picked up five shots in the last four holes to finish fourth. I stayed to watch Appelby win and Bland miss a put to tie on the last. Then I rushed for the metro and train to Warrnambool. It meant that I was able to read my book and stretch my legs. It also means that I can keep the mileage down on the car, I have had many journeys and everywhere is so far away.
