Happy Australia Day

Turns out today was Australia Day, a day for this country to "celebrate what's great about Australia and being Australian". Turns out, it pretty much just meant that all the stores between my hotel and the venue were closed up.

There was one nice suprise, however, when in the middle of the late night tennis match, fireworks erupted over Rod Laver Arena, giving each of the players quite a start. I did manage to run out from my subterranean lair to snap a few pics, enjoy. (And there's plenty more)
