Australian
Football, or Aussie Rules is one of the
quickest and the best spectator sports in the world.
The first element of Australian Football is that players can move the ball by hand or foot forwards, backwards or sideways. Player can run to any position on the ground as there is no offside rule. A team is made up of 22 players. The players play in positions all over the ground, but are generally matched up to a specific opponent. The
game is divided into four quarters, with one quarter consisting of 20
minutes plus time-on. Time-on is the extra time allocated when the play
stops. |

Surfing
is an Australian tradition. Australia is
surrounded by sea and has some beautiful beaches and wonderful surf.
There are many different sports in the surf. For example, beach sprints, board and ski races and iron races. Surfing can be dangerous and surfers need to know about the different types of wave, rips and currents. Some beaches are patrolled by surf life savers in the summer because it can be dangerous. |
