A tour behind the scenes at the MCG
No sports fan could miss a tour of the famous Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) as part of their Australian holiday so watch below for a video on what to see and do at one of the world's greatest stadiums.
Just now the MCG is given over to Australian Football League (Aussie Rules) games but come the southern summer it will again echo to the sound of leather on willow, or more likely to the sound of thousands of excited fans.
The 'spiritual home of Australian sport', it has been witness to many great sporting moments over the past one hundred plus years, including the Olympic games in 1956.
It is also home to the National Sports Museum – a popular tourist attraction for visitors to the vibrant city of Melbourne.
Enjoy the atmosphere, history and excitement of a tour behind the scenes at the 'G'.
