Work trip to Melbourne

Paul went to Melbourne for work (a visit to Monash to look at some IT systems) and was able to catch up with the family there.

He stayed with Aunty Kris and was very well looked after.  Siaan and Kim took him around sight seeing at Saint Kilda on a nice sunny day.

He was fortunate enough to get into the MCG for the Collingwood vs Port qualifying final with a standing room only ticket.  Collingwood had a good win and were in the Grand Final the next week - when they lost to Brisbane again.
