Nobody remembers the losers, but in this case I might just have to remind a few people. The Collywobbles have done it again!
After being away for a while MT, folks may have assumed that youd lost match fitness. Looks like youre back playing at your best. WA, SA and NSW are the only ones conscious at the moment.
Carol is not happy with you Steve. We'll come by tomorrow arvo.

Well done back to you
Early European settlers in the area originally used the land for grazing livestock. In 1874 while prospecting for gold between Bongongolong and Coolac, a previously unrecorded meteorite was discovered near the village by local man Thomas McMahon.[1] Development in the area around Bongongolong boomed in the late 19th Century with the discovery of gold in Bongongolong Creek in 1879.[2] A public school was established in 1880[3] and by 1889 a stamping battery was in operation. This attracted national media attention when in August, the manager of the mill was committed for trial for his part in the fraudulent sale of impure smelted gold.[4] By the late 1890s, a community hall and post office had been built at Bongongolong.
The ongoing decline of the town from World War I onwards is evidenced by the closure of the public school for the last time in 1961.[3] Today little remains of the village, with a few farm houses surviving. The street-grid and foundations for a number of community buildings remain visible.
Sometimes the town's name has also been spelled Bongongalong causing some difficulty when reviewing historical documents
