    Not sure what to go for ticketwise.
    Was gonna go for 4x day GS. We will be meeting up with Sister in law + BF in Melbourne, and am pretty sure they will just do GA tickets for the race only.
    Do foxtix send to UK, or do I need to use another agent??

    I always thought “The Distance” by Cake would be perfect for F1 coverage.

    Reluctantly crouched at the starting line,
    Engines pumping and thumping in time.
    The green light flashes, the flags go up.
    Churning and burning, they yearn for the cup.
    They deftly maneuver and muscle for rank,
    Fuel burning fast on an empty tank.
    Reckless and wild, they pour through the turns.
    Their prowess is potent and secretly stearn.
    As they speed through the finish, the flags go down.
    The fans get up and they get out of town.
    The arena is empty except for one man,
    Still driving and striving as fast as he can.
    The sun has gone down and the moon has come up,
    And long ago somebody left with the cup.
    But he’s driving and striving and hugging the turns.
    And thinking of someone for whom he still burns.

    He’s going the distance.
    He’s going for speed.
    She’s all alone
    In her time of need.
    Because he’s racing and pacing and plotting the course,
    He’s fighting and biting and riding on his horse,
    He’s going the distance.

    No trophy, no flowers, no flashbulbs, no wine,
    He’s haunted by something he cannot define.
    Bowel-shaking earthquakes of doubt and remorse,
    Assail him, impale him with monster-truck force.
    In his mind, he’s still driving, still making the grade.
    She’s hoping in time that her memories will fade.
    Cause he’s racing and pacing and plotting the course,
    He’s fighting and biting and riding on his horse.

    At the minute, we’re looking at booking a Camper for the duration of our trip in Oz. Is there any good spots for street parking, or will we have to check into a campsite in the city somewhere?

    What are the must see’s at the circuit?
    What are the must see’s at Melbourne?
    What are the must see’s in Oz?

    Hiring a Camper for our full trip. making our way from Melbourne round the SE coast then up to Sydney, then Gold coast / Brisbane

    Sorry for so many questions, but any feedback / advice much appreciated.

    Thanks Barry
