Sad part about it is that there is no one in Oz that has the money or interest in having a go any more :'(

It's only a myth that Kiwis can't fly !!

Wow, what a recovery from near disaster - totally amazing.

Looks like I made plans too early for a visit to Auckland for the next Cup series.  :o
What a change of events!
