Our Geelong friends brought me to the Footie, to see the Geelong Cats playing their final game of the season. Footie is Australian Rules, the game most popular in Victoria. It’s more popular than rugby.
Dad, my friend Fin, Fin’s grandad Darby and I went. I borrowed a Geelong top from Millie, but I have one myself in Auckland. I should have brought it, but didn’t have enough room in my suitcase, and I was so surprised to be actually going to a Footie match.
Geelong won, and I was happy.
We watched the match again the next day on TV. Darby spotted us, so I was on Australian TV……even though I was just a spec in the crowd.
