The Tiwi Bombers

On Australia Day last Saturday we were at TIO Stadium to see the Tiwi Bombers take first place on the NTFL ladder! Not bad considering this is their first full year in the comp. I had the guitar and our bombers cheer squad pumped out such classics as a re-worked Men-At-Work downunder - 'come from the land of Tiwi', and 'swing low the aeroplane' (after the tiwi star 'the aeroplane' who kicked five goals). It got us on TV. I expect that if my All Black allegiance gets out, I will be kindly asked to watch the finals on TV from home lest the bombers collapse in the grandfinal.

Alex started Katherine School of the Air two days ago and is going strong. Nicole is doing a mighty job as his home tutor! The girls will start Tiwi College primary school next Tuesday, here at the Free Spirit until we get to the island in a few weeks. Very exciting. This will be Yentle's first year of school!
