They're just so precious these grandmasters, aren't they?

Maybe it is just asking Australians to live up to their reputation of being friendly and hopitable?
I think we are all excited to see so many GMs playing in a local tournament, so helping them save some money and get easily from one city to another, seems a friendly thing to do.
