After watching an important win by the Sydney Swans over Carlton at the SCG this afternoon, we've now moved to the Sydney Football Stadium next door for the all-important Super 14 match between the Western Force and the Waratahs.
Go the Force!

All decked out in red and white for the big showdown against Judd, big bad Brendan and the rest of the Blues. After a relatively slow start in the first quarter when Carlton were very inaccurate in their kicking and led 3.5 (23) to 3.0 (18), the Swans took the lead in the second quarter as Carlton continued to squander chances. The Swans led at half-time 7.2 (44) to 3.12 (30) and ran out eventual winners 12.12 (84) to 9.13 (67). Fevola was contained to just one goal. Jarrod McVeigh and Eddie Betts shared the honours for both teams with three goals each.

The first Saturday afternoon game at the SCG in a very long time to commemorate the centenary of the Carlton-Swans Grand Final.
Patrick and Lucy at the rugby - Saturday 11 April
As they understand more about the game, Patrick and Lucy are making every effort to enjoy watching the Waratahs play at the Sydney Football Stadium - the Waratahs are not playing as well as their supporters would like!
Michael and Brendan at the rugby - Saturday 11 April
Michael and Brendan are enjoying watching the Waratahs play at the Sydney Football Stadium.
Sunday morning coffee - 5 April 2009
Sunday morning saw us at our local café for our regular coffee - the boys, of course, having either milkshakes or hot chocolates, depending on the season and their tastes on the day!

Another night at Homebush - Saturday 4 April 2009
After having been out here on Wednesday 1 April to cheer Australia on to the World Cup in South Africa (go Socceroos) we were back on the Saturday evening 4 April 2009 ... No prizes for the unanimous support for the red and the white tonight.
Brendan, Michael and Billy
It was the end of the Infants section of Dance Fever and the three boys were very excited.
Boys at the Socceroos
It was wet for the World Cup Qualifier and although we had seats behind the drip line, the wind blew the rain in on us all! Hence, the ponchos to keep us dry as it was still humid and warm.
Australia defeated Uzbekistan 2-0. Great goal from Josh Kennedy followed by Harry Kewell scoring a penalty.
Boys at the World Cup Qualifier
Wednesday 1 April saw Patrick, Brendan and I brace ourselves for a night of rain to hopefully see Australia defeat Uzbekistan and set up a direct entry into the 2010 FIFA World Cup.

About Me
- Beyond Crystal Set
- A keen photographer and painter, I love stories. Stories of ordinary people and their lives. This intersects with my appreciation of all forms of architecture and the built environment. I am fascinated by what makes people tick, what makes up culture and how culture influences society. I love the diversity of Australia and celebrate our land of migrants over 60,000 years and still coming.
