A Test match under way at the MCG, the ground full.
My wife and I went with Elite Sports Travel to watch the Boxing Day Ashes Test in Melbourne. Elite Sports Travel tailored the package to meet our specific needs, as they did for everyone else in the tour party. No mean feat! All in all Elite Sports Travel made a holiday of a lifetime truly memorable. We’re already saving for the next Ashes Tour!
