Aussie Rules Football

After a quick dinner most of the group headed to the Telstra Dome to see an Aussie Rules Football game. We saw the North Melbourne Kangaroos take on the Essendon Bombers. Aussie Rules Football is interesting because to score you have to kick the ball in between the uprights at each end of the stadium. If you get it in between the two middle poles you get six points and between either of the two outer areas you only get one point. Other than that, they pretty much just run around and kick the ball and try to tackle the other person. It is quite a fast-paced and wild sport to view. It was quite enjoyable. I do have a picture of the game below. After the game I went for a walk with others for our last night in Melbourne. The other picture below is of part of the waterfront area.

Aussie Rules Football must be very popular. The stadium looks huge and fairly full!
We drove by Woods of Britton yesterday.
