What happens when you take one posh British game and combine it with a combative native North American sport? You get the awesome combination that is polocrosse! We attended the tournament in Naracoorte to watch our nieces show us their skills.
The game starts with the ball being thrown in (not unlike super rugby). This is Emily (aged 13) at the back in position 3.
The grades are based on ability, not gender or age. This is Annabel (aged 11) against her direct #2 opponent (some bloke who is 40 something?)
Polocrosse has teams of three riders on the field, position 1 is offence with their direct opponent position 3 in defence. Position 2 riders stay in the midfield

After the polocrosse, we were lucky to head down to Waitpinga for some work with the cattle. It took me about three days to recover.
It was a bit sad to say good bye to our beloved kayaks. We were fortunate to sell them both to a punter in Adelaide. I suppose we will have to find another way to get our fish on the West Coast. Looking forward to the next week up in the the Flinders Ranges for some 4WD adventuring. See you next week.
