Wanna kick goals like you’re heros

Be sure to head down to you’re local park to have a kick of the footy with you’re travel partners. Goals will be kept up at parks a few weeks after the season is done, before they come down due to the cricket season beginning. Kick goals like Buddy Franklin from 50 metres out or goals from the boundary like Eddie Betts. It’s a fun way to enjoy yourself and also doing a bit of exercise. Be sure to bring you’re footy down and make sure you take it back when you leave to go back home overseas.
