WHAT HAPPENED? The Lionesses touched down in Australia on Friday morning after an exhaustiing 36-hour flight from London. As they entered the hotel from the team bus they received a warm welcome from the staff members who were standing outside the venue with flags and banners.

However, as they opened their windows after checking into their rooms they were pleasantly surprised to find kangaroos bouncing around outside.
