Sports nuts

We are lucky enough to live, not only close to the "Tan", but also the sports precinct here in Melbourne.  Being a 10-15 minute stroll from the MCG and Melbourne Park (Rod Laver and Hisence Arena tennis stadiums) has its clear advantages.  No struggle for parking and your drinks are still cold when you get there.

It's been a week of sports spectating for us, with the Australia/England ODI series and Australian Open tennis tournament. 

Awesome experiences and great to finally visit the places and watch the sporting spectacles I've seen on Sky Sports and could only dream of attending myself.

We are already looking forward to AFL and Super 15 seasons (not so much the disgraced NRL team...).  Melbourne's new Super 15 team will be watched with interest from the stands.
