Moomba and a 3 Day Weekend
I freaking love Moomba and even better are three day weekends:
Friday
NBL Grand Final Game 4
Melbourne Tigers vs. Brisbane Bullets
7:40PM, State Netball & Hockey Center, Parkville
I had no idea the Melbourne Tigers were in the Grand Final nor did I realize there was a grand final.
