Our First Rugby Match

We ventured down to Telstra Stadium at the Olympic Park to watch the Canterbury Bulldogs play the Newcastle Knights of the National Rugby League. 'League' seems to get most of the ink in NSW but Rugby Union (the game played in Canada) gets it's fair share of publicity because it's top players play internationally. The most popular rugby in NSW is the State of Origin matches where the best players from NRL play for their home state in a battle of NSW and Queensland. Teammates in one week in NRL, enemies the next week in State of Origin and teammates again the following week! Thanks to Mr. Hidson (Charlee's teacher at Picnic Point PS) for the tickets!!!




The girls wore their new footwear to the game. Yes, Heidi is wearing fake Uggs out in public! It's cool but not that cold.
