Soccer!
On Wednesday night we went to the Soccer! Most fans around the world call the round ball sport ‘football’, but in Australia they call it ‘soccer’ so people don’t get it confused with Aussie Rules Football. English Premier League side Everton were in Melbourne and played a special match against a brand new Aussie team called Melbourne Heart! Everton won 2 -...

It was great to hear all the interesting things he...

We watched an Aussie rules football game which was great fun! There are...
