Different Auckland town centres have adopted Rugby teams from countries that qualified for the World Cup.
I found out information about :
The location in Auckland;
Something special about this place;
A 'potted' history of the place;
If it has it's own symbol of some sort.
(If we couldn't find a symbol we chose a picture that told more about the place).
Ellersile is the host town centre for the Fijian 2011Rugby World Cup . It is a suburb 4km from Auckland City .
Ellersile is well known for their Race Course.
By the end of the nineteenth century horse racing become the foremost industry in the district . The first race at Ellersile was held in1857 on land towards the end of Tecoma street , attended by Governor Gore Brown .
