(And because Wimbledon is up and going .... )


During the 1996 Wimbledon men's final match, an incident occurred when a woman sprinted across the court, catching the attention of players Richard Krajicek and MaliVai Washington, who paused to observe the streaker with amusement.

The woman was later identified as Melissa Johnson, a 23-year-old student from London who was employed at a nearby café.
As a result of her actions, Melissa was temporarily held at the Wimbledon police station until the final concluded, after which she was released without any additional consequences.

30 June 1964, English rock band The Beatles wrapped up their Australian and World Tour with two shows at Festival Hall in Brisbane, taking place at 6pm and 8pm.

The Beatles are pictured here on stage at Festival Hall performing in front of some 5000 screaming fans.

The trip is famously remembered for massive crowds, an egg-throwing incident by anti-Beatle groups, and the band retreating to Lennon's Hotel.

Happy 77th birthday John Farnham who still holds the record for the biggest selling Australian album in history with "Whispering Jack".
He also rocked a mean mullet in the 80's.
