Sydney Football Stadium

The Sydney Football Stadium at Moore Park, which is also known as Aussie Stadium, is used for many major sport matches and cultural events such as rock concerts. The SFS is the home ground to a number of professionalteams in the different football codes popular in Australia, including the Sydney Roosters in NRL rugby league, New South Wales Waratahs in Super 14 rugby union and Sydney FC in A-League soccer. The Sydney Swans in the AFL Australian Rules Football play their home ground matches next door at the Sydney Cricket Ground. It is also the venue for many semi-finals and preliminary finals in these competitions and hosts many international matches.

Carlton, St George Dragons


It's Autumn and the rubgy league football season has just begun. I thought I'd share a couple of landmarks associated with my NRL football team, the St George Illawarra Dragons. St George Dragons have a long tradition in the competition since 1921. They merged with a newer team, the Illawarra Steelers back in 1998. Their Sydney homeground stadium is at Jubilee Oval in Carlton, which features a Walk of Fame (left) at the entrance. Just down the road on the Princes Highway in Beverley Park is the St George Leagues Club (right).

The historic Members' Pavilion and Ladies' Pavilion are shown at the top and the newer Brewongle Stand is shown on the bottom.
