Macquarie Sports 2016 Annual Review MACQUARIE GROUP FOUNDATION Macquarie Sports 2016 Annual Review MACQUARIE GROUP FOUNDATION macquarie.com/foundation Access to free sporting events, as well as high profile sporting role models, often isn’t a possibility for many children around Australia, particularly for those in remote or marginalised communities. Macquarie Sports aims to break down the barriers for participation in sport by delivering sporting clinics, providing sporting equipment and access to high profile sports people, all at no cost to participants. Since 1999, over 100,000 children from communities around Australia have been provided with this opportunity. Macquarie Sports also offers corporate scholarships to elite young sports people, who share both sporting and corporate career goals.

    Tiwi Islands Fire Management Plan 2019 Incorporating Weed Management: 2018–19 Wet Season Fire Management: 2019 Dry Season Management of introduced grassy weeds is an integral part of fire management on the Tiwi Islands in the Northern Territory. Grassy weeds replace native vegetation and produce high fuel loads. They promote high intensity, late dry season fires leading to ecosystem degradation, habitat loss and species declines. This booklet outlines fire and weed management activities during 2019 on the Tiwi Islands. It also includes a reference section to assist with the identification of key weeds on the islands.

    The NatWest Series 2001 CONTENTS Saturday23June 2 Match review – Australia v England 6 Regulations, umpires & 2002 fixtures 3&4 Final preview – Australia v Pakistan 7 2000 NatWest Series results & One day Final act of a 5 2001 fixtures, results & averages records thrilling series AUSTRALIA and Pakistan are both in superb form as they prepare to bring the curtain down on an eventful tournament having both won their last group games. Pakistan claimed the honours in the dress rehearsal for the final with a memo- rable victory over the world champions in a dramatic day/night encounter at Trent Bridge on Tuesday. The game lived up to its billing right from the onset as Saeed Anwar and Saleem Elahi tore into the Australia attack. Elahi was in particularly impressive form, blast- ing 79 from 91 balls as Pakistan plundered 290 from their 50 overs. But, never wanting to be outdone, the Australians responded in fine style with Adam Gilchrist attacking the Pakistan bowling with equal relish. The wicketkeep- er sensationally raced to his 20th one-day international half-century in just 29 balls on his way to a quick-fire 70. Once Saqlain Mushtaq had ended his 44-ball knock however, skipper Waqar Younis stepped up to take the game by the scruff of the neck. The pace star is bowling as well as he has done in years as his side come to the end of their tour of England and his figures of six for 59 fully deserved the man of the match award and to take his side to victory.

  • Michael Bevan
    Michael Bevan Former international cricketer & high performance training for corporates Michael Bevan is one of Australia’s highest achieving cricketers. He draws on his experiences as an elite sportsperson and member of one of the greatest sporting teams ever, to deliver motivational leadership and management training to the business world. Michael Bevans’ programs and workshops are based around concepts used by high performing individuals and high performing teams like the Australian Cricket Team. Michael has the great distinction of being the first ever Canberra born cricketer to play for his country. One of the few cricket players to have played over 250 games for Australia, he was, in his prime, arguably considered the best one-day batsman in the world. In 2007 he was chosen as a member of ‘Australia’s greatest ever ODI team.’ Michael Bevan is best known for guiding Australia to victory in impossible circumstances and situations, absorbing immense pressure in the dying overs of a run chase, often leaving victory until the last balls of the match. One of Australia’s most memorable sporting moments occurred on new year’s day in 1996 in a one-day match against the West Indies at the Sydney Cricket Ground. Needing four runs to win off the last ball of the match, Michael calmly dispatched Roger Harper’s last delivery over the head of the umpire to secure an unlikely victory for the Australian team. Michael was a member of two winning ashes series and played in three world cups – claiming victory in two of them. He played in what many considered to be one of the greatest cricketing and sporting teams in history.
