It’s still more than a year until the Commonwealth Games but you can get a preview in Melbourne starting this week with the 2005 Deaflympics.

You may have seen it advertised with theis mascot as the multi-coloured hand. I’ve seen a few tracksuited athletes around town too. So make them all welcome and give them a thumbs up or whatever the AUSLAN is for Good Luck. Having been to a practice session with the Aussie Ten Pin Bowling Team I only know the Auslan for “Gold”.

My brother is part of the workforce for the games and has been working hard to set up for bowling and shooting. (Hence my opportunity to hang out at the bowling). I hope things go well and good luck to all the athletes.
