Rugby, Aussie Rules (football australien), Tennis... All Sports Welcome!

QUESTION : Quel est le sport prefere des Australiens ?
REPONSE : Le football australien !! …bien sur!
En Australie, c’est le sport national. C’est pour ca que Ole n’a pas pu s’empecher de prendre la pose sur ce ballon typique qui fait tant frissonner les Australiens.
Le football australien n’est quand meme pas le seul sport pratique par les Australiens, ils aiment aussi jouer au tennis qui leur demande beaucoup d’heures de travail et d’endurance. Le netball est tres pratique par les jeunes filles ; c’est un sport tres semblable au basketball.
Sans oublier : le hockey sur gazon (le temps n’etant pas vraiment favorable pour la glace…!), le fitness, et bien sur le surf que tous les Australiens pratiquent avec grand plaisir !

QUESTION: What is Australians' favourite sport?
ANSWER: Australian Football, of course!
In Australia, it's the national sport. That's why Ole couldn't stop herself from posing on this ball that Australians go so crazy about.
Australian Football isn't however the only sport played by Australians; they love playing tennis too, which demands many hours of hard work. Netball is also played a lot by the girls; this is a sport that is a bit like basketball. And we mustn't forget grass hockey (the weather isn't very ideal for ice hockey!) and of course surfing too - all Australians just love this!

Fishing!

Dimanche apres-midi, j’ai peche. Le canal est juste sous le jardin, donc on peut pecher de la maison. Pendant que nous attendions qu’un poisson ne vienne, une sorte d’aigrette grise appelée « crane » est venue dans le jardin. Elle s’est approchee de nous lui avons donne a manger. C’etait tres etonnant ! En France, on ne peut nourrir que des pigeons…

On Sunday afternoon, I fished. The canal is just at the bottom of the garden, so we can fish from the home. When we were waiting for a fish, a crane came in the garden. It came up to us and we fed it. It was very odd! In France we just can feed pigeons…

Animals!

Le pelican sauvage venant du canal pres des habitations n`est pas farouche, il est docile. En effet on a pu l`approcher et lui donner a manger.

The wild pelican coming from the canal near the settlements isn`t shy, it is docile. Indeed we could move near it and feed it.
