    Fly Ted Down Under Journeys through the land of Oz

    Marvelous Melbourne

    After the match, down at field level. This stadium has hosted the 1956 Summer Olympics, 2006 Commonwealth Games, numerous Ashes and other international Cricket Test matches, Australian national soccer team matches, and virtually every AFL Grand Final since 1902. Its light standards are the tallest in the world, it is the largest cricket stadium in the world, the 10th-largest stadium of any kind in the world, and one of the “seven wonders” of the sporting world. Needless to say, it is a powerfully impressive place. And it fills up with fans twice every weekend for AFL games, like there's nothing to it (tickets were cheap, $20 for an upper-level seat).
