Description:
Okay! Yeah! Polo for the people! Bike polo is the best. Did you know that glamour model Jordan plays horse polo? That's why she got her boobs reduced. The RSPCA rang up. If this is not enough to put you off the horse version and get you down to the bike polo tournament this weekend then you are Peter Andre. This two-day tournament promises pickup polo and trackstand, footdown, quickstop and other activities we've never heard of. But there's a prize for best outfit! - PM

ThreeThousand is a subcultural guide to Melbourne, published daily and fired by email weekly. It is compiled by an amorphous gaggle of Melbourne writers, stylists, designers and photographers who all like huddling under that big umbrella we like to call creativity. Without editorial independence ThreeThousand has nothing. All editorial you read is featured because it's worth it - not because it's paid for.
