Me and Nicki caught the bus up to Brisbane and after staying one night with some guys we met in Byron Bay we moved to a hostel in the city.
Last night we went to the Brisbane Cricket Ground (known as the Gabba) to see an AFL match.
Brisbane Lions were playing Western Bulldogs and what with being in Brisbane we felt we should support the Lions so after donning our newly purchased scarves we took our seats and tried to look like we knew what was going on.
As we had heard from a lot of people the atmosphere was fantastic, the game is pretty easy to pick up and even easier when you make friends with some Bulldogs supporters (!) and get them to explain it to you.
Unfortunately we managed to pick the one match in absolutely ages that the Lions lost but it was a great game and really close the whole way through. We got our picture on the pitch with the dogs supporters we were talking to and they even let me keep their flag as a souvenir!
