Albert Park is a winner

THE supporters of Albert Park have something to shout about - in fact rather more than those who have been shouting about how the park needs to be saved.

Figures published in The Age in Melbourne have revealed that there are now 6.2m a year in Albert Park (excluding those who go to the Grand Prix). This is many times more than was the case before the park's revamping for the Australian Grand Prix, which made its first visit in 1996.
