Salam Sejahtera and Hi everyone !

A bit about Aussie Footy
Australian Rules Football, or Aussie Footy for short, is the one of the most popular sports in this sports-obsessed nation which is Australia. The game itself is a unique blend of soccer, Gaelic football, and rugby, and is considered as one of the unique icons of Australian culture. 

And like surfing in the Gold Coast, or patting a koala at Lone Pine, experiencing a live Footy match is something that should not be missed by anyone in Australia!

Okay, enough with exciting you, details of the event are below :)

This is not to say that the beach won't be fantastic though! :P

This is what we have scheduled:

Proceedings -
