Australian sports is serious business here as it is in many parts of the world. We love our teams and you’ll hear endless hours on the TV and radio about what some player did or did not do right. We invented Australian Rules Football and it’s a game you’ve got to see to believe. Those that hate the game refer to it as Aerial Ping Pong because the ball is in the air most of the time due to the frequent high kicking.

No matter what game you enjoy playing or simply watching, you’ll find Aussies who will be glad to have a drink with you and maybe a bet on the side.
