Rugby Fever!

Rebels playing away in Brisbane?  Great excuse for a weekend away and to see another state capital city in Australia.

Staying in the Rendez-Vous Hotel just opposite Central Station was the perfect place from which to explore the city and surrounding areas.  We walked for miles and saw the City, South Bank, West End, Botanical Gardens, Riverside, Milton, Fortitude Valley and probably more I can't remember!  It's a great city, and the weather helped as it was 30 degrees - not bad for Autumn!

Mangrove walk in the Botanical Gardens
Government House
Suncorp Stadium is a great stadium - but don't be fooled when you hear the crowd chanting 'We Are Red' - it's pre-recorded!!!

Feeling a bit outnumbered in the 30,000 strong Queensland Reds stadium, we did our bit to support the Melbourne Rebels - and they put up a good fight, despite ultimately losing!


  This weekend they played at home at AAMI Park, and it was great to have two 'Little Rebels' along!
Hearing Kieran saying 'Crouch, touch, pause....engage'........I reckon we may have a couple of players in the making!
