National Competition

Update.

As we know Queensland is to host the next Australian National Championships - May 15th and 16th. Runnaway Bay Cricket Club, Gold Coast

With the ongoing COVID restrictions each State enforce with no go zones and 14 day quarantine, at this stage we have no solid confirmation the event will go ahead on the above dates, the organisers are in constant contact as restrictions change. As soon as they have more information the organisers will let us know.

West Australian State Competition

The WA state comp at this stage are yet to confirm a field as the competition is usually held in the change over between Summer and Winter Sports and with COVID causing havoc with fixtures the organises need to wait for generic sports to post their fixtures before dates can be looked at, the WA state comp is hoping to hold a long distance event for the first time and will be good practise to lead into the Nationals for the first time too.

New Website

Let us know if you have something relevant we can add to our next bulletin too.

Fun Facts

One of the more unusual boomerang world records is that of the ‘most consecutive catches’. This is currently held by Haruki Taketomi of Japan, who after throwing for an extraordinary 11 hours and 41 minutes, managed to make 2251 consecutive catches of a boomerang. He managed this spectacular feat in 2009, and amazingly broken the previous record by over 1000 catches.
