About Me

My photo
Perth/Fremantle, Western Australia, Australia
An independent, working woman, I live in a riverside suburb close to both Fremantle and Perth. Having lived in Perth for over thirty years it's obvious that I love the place, though there are still things that irritate and make me squirm with embarrassment. Occasionally they will make an appearance; but generally speaking this is a pretty good place to live.

MCG

......is short for the famous Melbourne Cricket Ground and on a recent tour we were shown many interesting features.



The ground itself looked fantastic, though strangely not as I had expected.  The AFL goals and point posts had been replaced by soccer goals in readiness for the Liverpool vs Melbourne match and the groundsmen were marking out a rectangular pitch. 

That game was held last night and an impressive 95 000 attended the match which Liverpool won 2-0.

If interested in Australian Rules football, cricket, or any facet of Australian sport, a visit to the MCG and the National Sports Museum which is located underneath is a definite must do. Very interesting, even for a non-sporting person like me.
