Please wear your NSWRL Koori gear if you have any or your favourite footy club or hometown club colours at Uncle Bears requests.

Today we spent our last day on tour before we head off home,

The day started with a early start with everyone being packed by 730am, after breakfast we boarded our bus to head to Wembley Stadium

Once there we got our tickets and headed to the marshalling area for our lap of honour of Wembley Stadium

We did our lap and it was a magic moment of this trip, both NZ and the Poms were in touching distance of us all, once it was over we headed to our seats, these were the best seats in the house, we watched both semi finals

After the games we headed to the airport and as I type this we are currently cruising at 28000 feet on our way to Dubai

They have said out flight will take just under 7 hours, so fingers cross we get some strong tailwinds behind us the entire trip home

As our tour has basically concluded can I tell everyone who have followed our progress just how well behaved the boys were and how they respected themselves and each other

I have taken away football teams and been on many football trips over the years and these boys did nothing but enhance the Aboriginal Culture on a world scale, I am very proud to be associated with all of these young men

A big thanks to everyone who have followed us on here and commented and shared our stories, everyone were always excited to see what our numbers were after each post

Finally a big thanks to Glenda and Troy who took a stack of pics, we have over a 1000 pics taken but we can't seem to load anymore pics at present, we are trying to get this fixed

Once again thanks to everyone who have supported us on this tour

Today has seen a day of mixed emotions as we spend our last day and night in London

The day was spent sight seeing and last minute shopping

After dinner we had a presentation and team jumpers were handed out

We are very proud to announce that due to our behaviour on and off the field and at last nights reception we will be walking a lap of Wembley Stadium when NZ and England will be warming up

Not many Aussies have been on this field and tomorrow there will be 60 proud Aboriginal people walking on the field in front of 90 000

Perry
Ps I have a few more posts to make tonight it will take me a while to do as doing this on my phone, but you will all enjoy these posts

Once again it's been another big day for the boys, it started with another 7am run through the streets of London, upon return it was breakfast then sightseeing and this is where it became special for various reasons

Some of the boys went to Buckingham Palace and as they got there the queen and Phillip got into their car and drove out the gates, and she was doing her traditional wave

For the boys who went shopping at Oxford St they over the cause of the day bumped into the Aussies, Kiwis and Fiji teams

Tonight we played against a combined London team and ran out very easy winners, there is no need to write the score, other them to say our opposition didn't give up, man of the match was Tyrone Davies who scored four tries and kicked four goals

The game was played in freezing cold conditions and the great Greg Inglis came out to the ground approximately 50 Minutes outside of London and he sat in the cold with everyone else

Not long now go we make the long trek home

Hi All -

As most of you would already know we are landing in Sydney at 7am Monday morning.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

cheers

20/11/2013

Another big day for the team it started with a 7am team run through the streets of London , I'm sure the early morning traffic in and around St Paul's Cathedral were wondering if the London marathon had started

After breakfast we travelled to the famous English school named Harrow, it's a hot bed of English literature and captain of Industries according to a flyer I read

The rain was constant through out the session and when it started to hail it was abandoned as we all ran for cover, it was great to mix on with the kangaroos

The rest of the day was spent sight seeing in between lunch and dinner and after dinner, the boys were broken up into their groups and each team leader took them, for the boys in my group we went walking and saw the theatres of the West End, Trafalgjer Square, Piccadilly Circus and The Savoy Hotel

All boys are now back in the hotel with everyone players and team leaders having made the curfew cut off

It was a moving and wonderful experience for the boys when we visited the Somme Battlefields where Australians fought during WWI.

20/11/2013

The boys were able to watch the Australian team train today. Due to rain and hail there are limited photos however i will be able to post more tomorrow.

Regardless, It was an amazing experience and the boys loved it.

20/11/2013

Hi All

just to limited internet connection and i will post more photos tomorrow.

cheers

20/11/2013

What a great day at Euro Disney, frezzing cold at 2 degrees but the boys still had fun.

Please note there are limited photos as the boys were allowed to roam the park in their own groups.

Due to this it was difficult to find the boys as they were running in all directions. I have asked other parents and boys to post their photos also for all to see.

cheers
