We ate on the back deck because Mt was insistent on an ocean view. It was extremely humid and a slight drizzle crept in but did not mar our enjoyment.
Later Mt, Me and I went off to nearby Skilled Park for the rugby league fixture between Gold Coast Titans and Melbourne Storm. Played in incessant rain the first half of the match was a dull affair before the Melbourne side asserted its superiority and raced away for a big win. Mt was happy because her idol, Billy Slater, made some magic contributions.

I have a late morning flight back to Sydney tomorrow.
I've never been to a live rugby match, but I think I would really enjoy it. I've been to tennis, of course, and American football and baseball. I think I was even at a football match once (long ago, in the US when it was a novelty).
ReplyDeletewcs - Rugby League is very popular in New South Wales and Queensland; with Australian Rules Football (AFL) the major code in the other four Australian states. Both codes have their attractions. AFL is high scoring and when played at its best is spectacular, best seen live rather than on television.
