Lions tour 2013 ... Avoid the scrum on your tour of Australia
Everything is stacked up. There’s a feast of sport, for starters, with some of the best rugby players on earth going head-to-head over three tests and tasters with all five Aussie Super 15 franchises. Then there’s the backdrop. Where else could you mingle your matches with surfing in Sydney, shopping in Melbourne, or diving on the Great Barrier Reef?
Australia is as much a continent as a country, a tasting menu of a destination offering a sensational range of cities, cultures and coastline to explore. And the travelling circus (which touched down in Hong Kong and Perth before arriving into Brisbane for this morning’s match against the Queensland Reds) will be taking in many of the highlights.
