What, no Mindarie?
Traditionally, the Grand Final Weekend starts with a trip North to Mindarie. However, as we're particularly keen to attact newcomers, we felt that we'd keep the distances down and the navigation as simple as possible. Also, the weather sometimes works against making it to Mindarie in time for the start of the AFL Grand Final.
