  • Story Text: Australian fans at a campground in Munich were getting ready for their team's game against Brazil later on Sunday (June 18).
    Some 500 Australian fans found a temporary new home in tents and were clearly enjoying themselves.
    Stuart Miller said "we all have a great time during the night and we party hard."
    Ben Johanson said with a hoarse voice "we've been partying for about 10 days now and my voice is about to go but its' been very, very good."
    "Munich is a great place. Germany is a good place, a very good party. Good football and good women," Johanson said with a smile on his face.
    "We're just a small country in football terms and we haven't been back -- last time we were in the World Cup it was in 1974 in Germany. Now in 2006 back in Germany, nothing could be better," Sinny Paolovik said.
