Anyone coming to Sydney for the Apple Store grand opening? Or even coming to camp outside?

We all know that the weather forecast is not accurate these days. Fingers crossed.

The queue has started before I passed there this morning.
(Photos were taken at 11am this morning, about 30 hours to go until official opening to public.)

I was there since 3.30am on the opening day.
Me, queuing, (I am the one using MacBook Pro)
I walked into the store not long after 5pm (as I was within the first 50 customers). I got the Apple T-shirt.
I left at around 5.35, and there are still thousands of people wanting to get into Apple Store Sydney.
(more photos and in larger size are in this blog entry)
Krissel, it started to rain after I left Apple Store Sydney.

I guess the Apple rain Gods were good to you.
BTW, for some reason Camino doesn't like your website. Everytime I would click on the the "continue reading" or some of the other links I would end up back at your home page. Safari is fine but there is something going on with Camino that can't handle it. This happened before. I guess I should give the Camino people your web address and have them find out what is lacking in the browser.
