Australian Sports

Australian Sports posts cover the codes that compete for attention across the country. Articles look at Australian Rules Football and the AFL season ending in the Grand Final at the MCG, the National Rugby League dominated by Sydney clubs, cricket in summer including the Sheffield Shield and the Boxing Day Test, the Socceroos and the A-League, the long surf culture, swimming as a national strength at the Olympics, netball as the highest-participation women’s sport, and the smaller but stubborn lawn bowls scene. There are also notes on horse racing including the Melbourne Cup and on tennis at the Australian Open.
