College Roomies Hang with Bono and Oprah in Oz
Our first out-of-town visitor arrived! Fellow Wes alum Justine hit the ground running when she arrived on Sunday. Besides the usual sight-seeing highlights, Justine and Sid attended the U2 concert (with Jay-Z) at Olympic Stadium, had several near misses with Oprah (in town to promote Australia to her billions of fans), and some up-close and personal moments with Oz wildlife. Best of all, we had drinks on the "Athena," a 50 meter schooner owned by Netscape founder, Jim Clark and his wife, supermodel Kristy Hinze (photos to come when JG gets back to the US)
This is a shot of Justine nervously petting the gorgeous juvenile koala at Walkabout Park. She loves animals--can't you tell?
That's better.

Look closely--that's the "Oprah" House. She was there with Hugh Jackman, Nicole Kidman, etc... We didn't rate. Wha?
Bondi in the background. Just glorious.
