We recently attended the Polcrosse Nationals in Ballarat, Victoria with friends of ours who had family members playing in the nationals.

This is the first time that we have watched the game, so took a few action shots which we thought you might enjoy. The game was invented right here in Australia.

As the name itself implies, Polocrosse is a combination of polo, lacrosse and netball.

It is played on horseback, each rider using a cane stick, made up of a polo stick shaft to which is attached a squash racquet type head with a loose twisted-thread net, in which the ball is carried. The rules are fairly easy to follow, and more info can be found at http://www.polocrosse.org.au/thegame.html

Here are some of the pics that we took:

They say things happen in 3, so we had to do one more park, and on Saturday 6 March we went to Cuddle Creek.  But the great thing about this one is the interaction

And also the great close-ups

What about the majestic

Look at the new additions to the park - these male monkeys are both carrying two babies each
