Netball and footy lightning carnival

Broome Primary travelled to Derby for the lightning carnival. Trace and Gran and Gang (who are in town) went along for the trip.

Ruby played in one of the netball teams who did very well and came fouth. She had a dodgey foot which Mr Super Physio (Terry) fixed for her so she could keep playing.

Darcy played in the footy team which came runner-up which was a great effort considering there were some pretty handy teams there. There was even a team from Wanami which is a remote community 3 hours from Derby which was all girls except for two players!

All the kids had a great time and all the supporters were most impressed with the sportsmanship shown by all the teams.

Footy's back! (and so are the pies!)

After a NAB cup victory the pies are ready to go back-to-back. Leo, Ben there's no denying that the wood's have
got it all covered, to me I don't really see the point of continuing the season for all the other clubs.


I would definitely prefer to lay down and die and let Collingwood have the premiership then getting absolutely murdered
by the Maggie's.

you can vote on right hand side for who do you think will win the premiership(collingwood derrr!)

P.S the supercoach code for Dan and Gus's league is 635774.

Guess who's team won the Granny??

Enough said.

As far as I am aware we are still married.

Bloody hell!

Well. After destroying the Cats last week it seemed the premiership really was a cake walk.

We travelled 200km North of Broome to Cape Leveque for the long weekend with friends. Tracey and I thought that seeing one of has to loose we may as well be somewhere nice to help cope with it.

First she thought she had lost, then I thought I had lost, then she thought she had lost, then I thought I had lost, then we both thought we had lost.

Then we had to drive back to Broome together.

Now we have to do it all again. I think this time I'll just go next door to the RSL.

Carn the Pies!

(Thank you all for your cruel text messages!)

We are NOT keeping a lid on it...

Certainly not.

Look out!!!! Here come the magpies. First it's the hapless doggies....

The end of the road for the Bulls

After a great season Broome Bulls FC season have come to an

end. The final game was against the undefeated Cable Beach.

The Boys put up a good fight but Beaches got 6 goals to none in the first term.We outscored them 5 goals to 2 for the rest of the game.

For the best fairest Porkie[Jordan Bacon] came runner up and Barks won[Sam Barklow]

I would also like to thank Glesso for coaching us for the season.

Playing footy for Broome Primary

I was selected to play for Broome Primary in football for the inter school cup. Their were 10 schools from surrounding districts including 4 from Broome, 3 from Derby and another from 3 from Aboriginal communities. The footy was evenly spread with Roebuck winning and and we followed closely second.

I had had to wake up at 6am and fortunately I was not late.

It was an awesome experience and I wish Broome primary all the best all the best next year

Who's on top of the ladder???

Need we say more?

First 3 games for Broome Bulls

Darcy Thorn has played his debut game for Broome Bulls last week after a week long dispute on his switch from Tom Price Magpies. The Bulls won by 39 points against Towns with Darcy winning the best on ground with 2 goals.
The second game was not as close with the Bulls losing by 3 points to the red hot form of the Saints . Thorn played in the centre but still kicked 1.1.

Darcy Thorn walks out on the Magpies

In a surprise move Darcy Thorn has walked out on the Tom Price magpies to join the Broome Bulls in the West Kimberly football league. The decision was made on Wednesday following a training session with the Bulls.

Darcy was tight lipped about the move but a spokesman said that he felt that it was time to move on from the two team competition at Tom Price and that the contract offered by the Bulls was too good to refuse. In a statement he wished the magpies all the best for the rest of the season and was looking forward to playing with the Bulls.

Darcy’ debut for Tom Price Magpies

Darcy made his debut for the Tom Price magpies against the Tom Price Sharks (funny name for a team hundreds of km's from the coast). John Vallee (in the picture) from Paris also made his debut. The magpies went down narrowly, but have the opportunity to make amends next week when they play the Sharks again. You don't have to wait long for revenge when there are only two teams in the competition! The boys are both confident that the Magpies will make the grand-final.

John played a very servicable game considering he dosen't know one end of a footy from the other and can't understand the coach. Darcy managed 2 goals and won an award - a Rio Tinto drink bottle (surprise surprise). The boys had a Pilbara style recovery session the next day in the icy waters of the Weno gorges.

Ningaloo Reef

We spent many hot and sunny days snorkelling on the Ningaloo reef from Coral Bay and the Cape Range National park. The water was very clear and the snorkelling was great. We saw heaps of fish, some turtles, some rays and a white tipped reef shark.

We took a boat trip from Coral Bay and Monkey Mia. Visited a pearl farm. One of the blokes running it is on the next series of "farmer wants a wife", reckons he didn't do very well.

The only down side was that Collingwoods anihalation of Carlton was not on the either the TV or the radio! The premier will be getting a letter,

New Norcia - back on the road

It was a bit of a shock getting back on the road after the luxury of living in the BIG house in Merredin. Happy to be back among the dust, heat, flies and long drop dunnies – nothing like it.

Dropped in to see the monks at New Norcia, Australia’s only monastic community. The Benedictine monks have lived here for 150 years. Quite an industrious lot. They not only pray, but have all manner of industries up and running. They make and sell bread, wine, beer, clothes and food. They have a roadhouse and even a pub. Darcy and I were very greatful for the pub because we could sit in comfort and watch the magpies destroy the Hawks (sorry Diedre). What would we do without the monks?
