2. Rugby Union (in terms of players) 3. Rugby League (possibly more popular following - Super League turned a lot of followers like myself off) Aussie rules is very similar to Gaelic Football played in Ireland, and the two countries have played a combined rules variety against each other before. The true spectacle of the game is best appreciated at the park. On TV it looks very chaotic. I actually prefer Football (soccer) and if it was covered better in Australia more, would be a fan. As it is I hang out for the World and Euro Cups. ------------------ I am the walrus!.... er, no hang on.... A fair dinkum laughing Hyena! |

Welcome Azreal - good to see someone else living in WA-stralia on this board. Aussie Rules is the number one code - and my side, the Brisbane Lions, humbled the all conquering Essendon Bombers tonight - just waiting about and killing another hour and a half before the replay. Hope your not a West Coast supporter Azreal, those guys were pathetic today by all reports.
As to the Ashes - I see the English are making a big score against Pakistan. I don't recall too many batsmen that put up any resistance the last time we played them - maybe we might just see some 4 day tests this tour (dodges the well thrown Donut, without spilling his cider this time). ------------------ |

Man Yorick, It's HOT up that way from all reports. I am an immigrant to Western Australia, having lived most of my life in the Sugar Cane fields of Mackay in Queensland (Joh for PM ). Been here for the last 8 and a half years. Queensland has won 3 Sheffield Shields in that time (yes I know it is the Pura Cup now, but to me it will always be "The Shield").

No it's the Pura Milk-cup. MacKay is very pretty. I've driven through there twice. Love the cane fields. Up in Newman it was BLOODY HOT!!! Marble Bar is recorded as having a 50%C day. One of the hottest inhabited places on earth apparently. No humidity though, so it's sort of bearable. Needless to say I love rain, cool air, water, trees and all things lush. I also find high density populations enticing and exciting after living where you needed a twelve hour drive to get to the nearest small city. ------------------ I am the walrus!.... er, no hang on....
