Our Roots

Reviving the past into the future!

‘Our Roots’ is a culmination of 22 years researching Aussie Rules football in and around Western Australia’s Great Southern region. And this will continue until it no longer excites me – or more likely, I no longer exist! The seed was planted in 1999, when wondering why there was so little history written about the subject, I became driven by the words of former United States President John Fitzgerald Kennedy “I thought someone should do something, then I realised I was someone!” You are invited to join my interest here of Reviving the Past into the Future…
