Day 6️⃣ and the Deadly Choices South West Netball Tour has come to an end, we are all home safe and sound 💚🖤
As my time with DDNR has come to end, what an awesome last hoorah! And what a crew to spend the last 6 days with. We had some very interesting moments 🤔 but we could still belly laugh, even through our tired and frustrated tears.
For the last 6 years, we have run this Country Tour in various formats, hitting a variety of different rural and remote towns and communities. Of all the Netball I do, this is by far the most enjoyable and most rewarding. I have met some inspiring characters along the way, all round fantastic humans who are so selfless their actions, and passionate in their endeavours to bring different sporting opportunities to their towns.
Kaylin van Greunen and Molly Gore were just fabulous with the kids, and Bell and Lisa were workhorses in helping with the planning and support of the clinics. I loved spending this time with you all, thank you for coming on the ride! Thanks also to Halle Webster (St George) and Jas Steer (Charleville) for coming along and giving back to the kids of your towns!
Big thank you to E.P. Capewell, as always we 💯 value and appreciate your support in getting us on Tour, and your dedication and commitment to your community. Thank you for bringing Trey and Jaz along, it was great to meet them and share the experience. They are all so lucky to have you in their corner ❤️ And how about those amazing shirts!!! Thank you for organising 🖤💚🖤
Lastly I would like to acknowledge those who funded and supported the Tour. We couldn't have done it without you all.

You guys are simply amazing. 💕 You don’t see many (if any) other sports or netball teams that do this for no benefit of their own. You ladies are the reason so many love our sport. 💕🖤💚
Well Done all of you. It warms my heart to see a group of people giving back. The reward is knowing your contribution has been valued. Those kids out in those country areas will be talking about the fun they had and what they learnt for a long time. When everyone works together Much is Achieved. Good On Ya 🌹🌈💕👍⭐️

St George turned on a beautiful day, and turned out an even better group of kids to kick off our Country Tour 💚🖤💚
A big thank you to South West Indigenous Network, St George Aboriginal Housing Company for supporting this leg of the Tour, and the wonderful ladies at St George Netball Association Inc - Queensland for their hospitality!
