Not hard to tell I am a Queenslander - obviously by my wit, intelligence and charm. Anyway, so as to not hijack the thread the rugby clubs do accept social members although they normally get an introduction as from an outsiders perspective they can be a bit tricky especially if you are not a player (in the rugby sense). Dragon boating is the same but probably easier to just rock up and join in the sport.
The 2 most "expat" rugby clubs are Wanderers and Bucks. Both have club houses on boat quay (there is SCC but in every town around the world there is 1 club that everyone loves to hate
)
If you want actual details of times, places and personal recommendations I am not willing to post online then feel free to PM me.
