Sports in Australia
| Australian Rugby Team |
When you think of sports in Australia, the first one that might come to your mind is probably surfing. Although surfing is very popular, competetive surfing is not the most popular sport in Australia. Rugby is actually one of the most popular sports. Some other common sports in Australia are cricket, golf, cycling, even martial arts. Because of Australia's year-round warm climate, many sports are outdoors or water-related, for example, rowing, sailing, and swimming. Spear-fishing, although some people don't even consider it a sport, is actually practiced by some Australians! These "warmer" sports are much more dominant in Australia than the "cold" ones (like snowboarding, hockey...etc.). Like I mentioned before, surfing is very popular in Australia. With warm weather, so many beaches and lots of great waves, Australia has the perfect conditions for surfing.

Wow Amanda! That was very interesting. I always learning about other countries' sports and what the most popular ones are. I didn't know that Australia's most popular sport was rugby, along with several others, I assumed it was surfing. I think that I will have to visit your country sometime, that was I can learn how to surf! Maybe learn to play a little rugby, too! One of Spain's most popular spots is soccer, but that is not really a huge surprise. I really enjoyed not only your blog this week, but throughout the whole semester. I had a great time learning about Australia!
