Melbourne F1 Grand Prix

I had a great w/e (15-18/Mar) in Melbourne at the GP. Flew down with Jetstar, actually enjoyed the experience - no delays for a change :) Flying to Avalon proved to be hassle free and far less crowded than Tullermarine.

The GP was well organised as usual - I've been a few times before - this year there were no v8 supercars, so it seemed to be missing something. On the flipside, the 2 x 90min practice sessions on the Friday meant more airtime for the F1 cars. Seating was good, directly opposite pit lane exit and a superscreen - handy to watch the action.

Thanks to my friends Wendy & Martin who hosted my stay....

Australian International Airshow is on this week, so plenty of plane action at Avalon when I was leaving on Sunday evening. Heres a C17A and some F16/18's taken from the departure lounge.
