Update

The men's finals of the Australian Open tomorrow is going to be HUGE. Everyone loves that Cypriot, Marcos Baghdatis, and Melbourne, which has a huge Greek community, is really going off big time. The power of one. Don't ever tell yourself that you, as one person, cannot make a difference.

I read the paper after I had blogged last night. Wrong way round, I realise, but it was like Bondi Central railway station here yesterday and it was all happening...so I got to the paper VERY late. There was a massive picture of that great red dust storm in all its glory right on the first page. Awesome sight. The people on the Birdsville Track were really over the moon and so excited about it. Some had never seen one and valued the power and beauty of raw nature and others hadn't seen one in 20 years and were thrilled and privileged to see one again. The red earth. That is our country.

I got onto Firefox tonight and my little Weatherfox popped up telling me there were light showers. Oh yeah?? It had been pouring. Pouring , pouring , pouring. Drenching rain. Weatherfox obviously likes to understate the weather at times!!
