MCG, Commonwealth Games - 100 Metres Finals

Here's Tim (left) and Marcus. They, and their parents, have been kind enough to allow me to stay in their home until I find something more permanent.

Here's the final of the 100 metres. The man in front is Asafa Powell, the fastest man ever. His record currently stands at 9.77 seconds. He only ran 10.03 on the night but still won comfortably.

The pies at the MCG are, supposedly, famous. So I had one...tasty but it'd want to be for 3.60 aussie dollars.
