Shopping is also high on the list for most travelers, and it's available here in abundance. Australians love their sports. In winter there is Aussie Rules Footy and Rugby, both Union and League. You might even find the odd match of the World game, soccer. For an Aussie, there's nothing like mixing it up at a good club game and then getting on to the booze afterward.
Summer bring s cricket, that weird game that is like a five-day baseball game on Valium.
It takes five days to play and only last four innings. For those on a quicker time schedule, there is also the One Day version which runs about eight hours and each side gets one inning. This usually starts around 2 p.m. and runs til 10 at night. Australians also love their water sports. Or to put it more precisely, visiting the beach.
