Catching up - Tennis 5 January 2011


Marcos Baghdathis (?) played and beat Lucas Kubot (?) at Pat Rafter Arena at the Brisbane International



We had great seats - third row from the front. It was great!


And then there was the rain again...



This is the same Tennis Court a week after during the big Brisbane flood

Visiting Wivenhoe Dam 31 December 2010


This bridge was under water some days later...




the dam in 2004... and now!




Water is released from the dam - at that time it was at about 120% - now it is at 200% (100% drinkwater - 100% floodwater) Water had to be released even when Brisbane was getting flooded, otherwise the dam might have collapsed.

Belated Christmas pictures...
