Today was our last day in Sydney, Australia, and there were varous groups of girls that each sought out a different adventure. Some girls went on a “scavenger hunt” of the city, in search of vairous statues, memorials and interestng buildngs to take pictures with. Others went to the famous bridge and walked across, incorporating a tour in the tower with spectacular views. Finally another group took the day to go to the aquarium and the botanical gardens where gorgeous pictures of the exotic flowers were taken. After a 7:15 departure to the airport, we waited for a 9:30 flight back to Brisbane.

After a few rain dances, the team was finally able to say that we played a game in Australia! Although our first game was not until 6:00pm, we left a little early to scope out the competition and root for the girls that we were originally supposed to play last week. At 6:00 we all put our game faces on, and even though the first game resulted in a loss, we still showed an excellent display of talent and team chemistry. Our second game however was more successfull, as we were able to pull ahead for most of the game and take home a W for Augie. Our pitchers did well, and our bats were very successful tonight; our hard work and preperation had definitely paid off!
