The Australian Grand Prix

Race day Sunday was a partly cloudy day with a good crowd to see the race. I purchased a general admission ticket without a seat in the grandstands so I could wander around the race track. As with most sporting events, watching from home would give you a better look at the action, but I was glad to be in Albert Park this one time for the Formula One experience.

Both Ferraris crashed out, and Fernando Alonso took the race win in his Renault.

On Monday after the race, we set sail for the next leg of our tour of Australia. The Spirit of Tasmania II took us across the Bass Strait to Tasmania. The 10 hour crossing was done overnight, so we arrived at dawn in Devonport on the North coast.
