The view from my "office"

Seems somewhat of a disappointing crowd for a Friday and the teams involved. Anyway - enjoy!

Turned out to be the largest single day test crowd in Perth....even. So I guess can't complain.

Also, I feel CA shoot themselves in the foot by not having the T20 and ODIs shown on free to air prior to build up demand. Also means not advertised to the right audience.
 
I stayed o/n Grand Mercure Roxy😴😎
How far from the station? I used to stay there on some work trips but was a great location back then. A metro to / from airport and city makes an interesting stopover choice now.
 
Reflections on our multi-office hop in NZ earlier this month:

Departing ferry from Auckland to Waiheke Is.

Oneroa Bay, Waiheke Is. Beautiful. Waiheke's scenically stunning but expensive.

Matapuri Bay, Northland. 30 min drive from Whangarei via Tutukaka. One of my favourites.

Kawakawaka Historic Train. The train runs through the main street and has been since 1867. We were taking photos of the trucks and they were taking photos of us! WH&S, yeh nah. It's NZ. IMG_20241031_141311461_AE.jpg
...and back to earth with a thud: SIN F lounge as a WP in late Oct enjoying a QF2 (fancy G&T) while deciding what to have from the menu on our way to NZ.
