Cavallino Rampante !


Yip, that's a real live Ferrari F40, part of the display in the forecourt of the Crown Towers Hotel and Casino Complex, Melbourne, commerating 60 years of Ferrari, during the build-up to the opening Grand Prix of the 2007-08 season.

I spent 3 days + 4 nights in Melbourne on my very first trip to Oz, but only got to explore the city after sundown....still, I got around, and got a fair sampling of what this great city has to offer.

March in Melbourne is a busy month, with loads of shows and expos, the GP, and for 2007, the city played host to the FINA World Swimming championships. Though I didn't get to attend any of these events, I got the impression that Melbournians are quite proud of their hometown, and believe they can handle anything the world throws at them.

Cavallino Rampante is Italian for : Prancing Horse, which is the emblem used by Ferrari....
