#186 'Paint The Town Green'

The JackJumpers franchise is Tasmania's new muse. Don't worry about AFL Colours Day - that's done for now - the brand mucked around for so long that they were stung. Instead, head to the socials and check out how school kids committed to Paint the Town Green in JackJumpers colours and made the AFL green with envy in the process. Now that's a movie I would watch over and over again.

#185 The Alligators and YMCA Launceston

Long before a Jack Jumper was a franchise and when teams of the black biting ants were more likely to require an EpiPen than hoops, Launceston's YMCA provided the boards for junior basketball.

Primary school basketball was huge in the 1980s with kids introduced by a small number of teachers who held a love of the game.
