Sports excursion

Today we went to the Essendon FC. Training facility near Tullamarine Airport. We had a tour of their facilities and brunch at their cafe which was yummy. A big thank you to Bernard for showing us around and Mason for letting us watch him train. We got footballs for each child from the Bomber Shop.

After that we drove across town to the MCG where we had a talk from an Olympian (  Winter Olympics speed skater, Richard Goerlitz ) and we had a great time checking out the sports museum and their interactive gallery. That was followed by an extensive tour of the MCG. Our guide was a long standing MCC member, Gregor who was really informative. It was a great excursion and also quite exhausting. The kids should sleep well tonight!

With Richard.

We also had a good look around Melbourne's world class sports facilities.
