Your top 5 Australian INDIVIDUAL sports events

Postby Squawk » Thu Aug 02, 2007 2:14 am

Name the top 5 individual sports events (in your opinion) that are 'played' on Australian soil on a typically annual basis.

A quick attempt from me:

1. Melbourne Cup
2. Australian Open Tennis
3. Stawell Gift
4. Iron Man series
5. Any event involving Anthony Mundine losing.
Steve Bradbury and Michael Milton. Aussie Legends.

The Melbourne Cup is the only one of these I ever notice is on. When I lived in SA I also noticed the Gawler 3-day event, and Oakbank, but I've never been to any of them. [Yes I used to ride horses in the 1980s- trained at a riding school near Oakbank.]

Aust F1 Grand Prix? International competition but 'played' on Aussie soil...
