Not a bad seat in the house and they know how to look after the fans at the Australian Open. Lots of food choices and enough women's toilets - a rarity in a sporting or arts venue. It's always a great atmosphere at the Open.

We watched a pool play game, and went back to a semi bewteen Federer and Nadal - Magic! The event is well organised and the crowd is incredibly respectful of the players and ediquete of tennis spectating.

I have been to listen to various performances at this venue. It is like being in a huge barn; accoustics and a views are dreadful.
