Melbourne is a sports crazy city, mate! The 1956 Olympics was held here in Melbourne. The Melbourne Cricket Ground or �MCG� is one of the world�s greatest sporting stadiums. MCG is a vast stadium with a seating capacity of 100,000. It was also here on the hallowed grounds that the first ever �Test� cricket match between England and Australia was played in the 19th century. It is also very much associated to Australian Rules Football (�footy�) being played here. A guided tour of this huge complex is a very worthwhile experience. There�s the MCC Cricket Museum, the Australian Gallery of Sport, the Olympic Museum etc etc etc!
