Well we went to our first football game in Sydney on Sunday and while we went away without a win and were drenched trying to hail a cab later it was a pretty good experience. And I have to say it was tons better than our game against the other fake AFL side GWS last year in Canberra. At least they didn't berate us over the PA about how good the Swans are during the game. But a beer later in the Lord Dudley and then dinner at the 18 ftrs yacht club in Double Bay finished the day off beautifully.

I had to get straight to the airport to fly out and it took me half an hour to hail a cab in the pouring rain. Had I been up there solely for the footy, I would have been very disappointed with the scoreboard, but as I was up there for the Film Festival, I only had to buy my ticket to the game and everything else was paid for. Even a cabcharge! Didn't get a boat ride though.

The SCG is pretty great.

I'd like Sydney more if it wasn't Sydney.

Its a great viewing venue, enjoyed this time despite the weather.

Learning experience for me and I'm sure for a few of our young boys Hunt, Stretch and Oscar.

Consolation was the Bradman Bar.
