Back to Aussie cricket legends — Ellyse Perry, Qantas domestic terminal Melbourne, early morning a few days back.
 
Bit late but saw Johanna griggs the Aussie swimmerv in July at the SQ skl lounge in Sydney.
 
Troy Cassar-Daley plus entourage and a whole lotta guitars at VA premium check-in ADL couple of weeks ago.

Then in lounge, and on flight to BNE. Minus the guitars.
 
So today not flying or lounging but away from home.
Probably Latrobe's most famous son-Tassie Latrobe that is.
David Foster.21 straight world titles in the double handed sawing.first 11 with his father,last 10 with his brother.

A great athlete in my book with achievements as under-appreciated as Heather McKay. Imagine being invited to drinks with him and Boonie.
