Australia & Lions Tour

I decided to look up the Lions 2013 tour fixtures to see if I could try and see some of them and it turns out, with the exception of the first two games (Hong Kong and Perth) they are all on the East Coast between Melbourne and Brisbane.

I could fly in to Brisbane to see Queensland Reds (8 June), then use the Greyhound Bus to travel 800km to  see NSW/Queensland in Newcastle (12 June), 160km to see Waratahs in Sydney (15 June), 200km to see Brumbies in Canberra (18 June) and then maybe fly the 900km to see them play Australia in Brisbane (22 June) again before continuing up the East Coast until the end of July.

Hopefully, Dad and Police Dog Pete will be going out to see the tour as well so, 6 months in might be just about the right time to blag a nice hotel, showers and some decent food!!

Other things I want to do in Australia are;

  • Stay with the Claydons in Sydney (if they’ll have me again!)
  • Track down Dan Hovey, presumably in Queensland somewhere
  • See the Machrays in Maroochydore
  • Scuba dive on the Reef

I’m most excited about seeing some people I haven’t seen for a while!!
