Something like %80 of us live within 50km (80miles) of the beach.... so there is a lot of surfing and swimming. Other than that there is Rugby League and Afl being the most popular sports, then we have soccer, rugby union, netball, hockey and all the rest of them of course. But anything to do with the beach, lakes etc are the primary past times i guess. not 80miles lol.... i think its about 30miles...... 1mile = 1.6km

It would be a lot easier to name what we don't do here....Australia is sports mad ! Having said that , we aren't really big on snow sports ...we have great snowfields but they are not easily accessible to all the spread out population here . The main ones that are popular with the majority are all the different versions of football , cricket , basketball , netball , tennis & all types of motor sport..... The next tier include sports like baseball , softball , hockey , badminton , boxing , wrestling etc etc Then you have the more elite sports like rifle shooting , skiing , etc etc
