I remember walking out of Rod Laver Arena after a J. Cole concert and Paul McCartney had just finished his gig next door. Multiple generations of music fans converging on the concourse.
I remember watching Roger Federer cruise through a quarter final in straight sets.
I remember attending my first AFL Grand Final and seeing my Swans get smashed.
I remember (vaguely) nights out on Swan St.
