I had my first Aussie-style injury, mountain biking in the forests. The rollercoaster trail was so much fun and the steep downhill ride through bush and stone was macho and exciting until I fell and almost broke my knee. Did the Chicken Run rest of the trail :-) They don't call 'em extreme sports for nothing :-) But I know I'm gonna be back next week! It's a way of life out here. You surf, bike and dive and get badly hurt and can't walk for a day or worse a week or worse a month, but you're back at it again the day you can!
Less extreme sports are no different. The most popular sport is 'aussie rules', which is something like American football. Without the helmets and padding. Season ending grand finales of rugby and football taking football fever to its heights, I reckon businesses should close for a vacation in September instead of Christmas to allow people a leisurely time to nurse their injuries.
I'm picking up little by little though on a rather uncharacteristically popular aussie sport. Some mock at its followers as bored men bent on beating the hell out of a little white ball with an iron club. More on that once I start swinging the club right.
Cheers.

Nice blog Anshuk. Your posts were interesting reading. I was looking for wine refrigerator related information and found your site. I have a wine refrigerator site. You'll find everything about wine, gift baskets, Napa Valley wine tours, and how to keep your wine properly chilled until it's ready to drink. Please try and visit it, see what you think.
