<p>Bob; its our mutual freinds the Poms, that use the word pitch, here we say out on the paddock. This is a word used here in Australia the describe a field.</p><p>For instance my mothers family owned a large but loor property called Wilga Mount some 40,000 acres and it could only support 8,000 sheep. and it had 5 paddocks, Tank paddock, PP (prickly pear board) paddock, back paddock, front paddock and home paddock. The homestead was 3 miles from the road. I have used imperial measurements, as Australia wasn't a metric country at that time.</p><p>If you are watching a football match, it is quite often said "the the boys or the teams are out oin the paddock"!</p><p>Rgds Ian</p>
