The Battle of Crete: Walk of Awareness
Feb.14,2016

Andreas Leonakis successfully completed the Walk of Awareness last year creating enormous interest.

This year Andreas is preparing to go again and is looking to raise money for a nominated charity.

 

 

About the 2016’s Walk of Awareness 

 

On the morning of May 20 1941 Nazi Germany came upon the Island of Crete and began a 10 day Airborne Invasion against The ANZACS, Greek and other Allied Forces and it’s Inhabitants The Cretan people.

On that same day a young Cretan man of only 16 1/2  old name Timotheus {Tim} Leonakis was called upon to pick up his weapon, once only used to hunt for food, but now was to be used to defend his people, his family, and his life on the Island he called home.

After the ten days the ANZACS and Allies were forced to evacuate with the help of the local Cretan people who continued to fight on till Germany surrendered in the summer of 1945.

In memory of that historical battle, Andreas, Timotheus son, has decided to walk the distance of the length of Crete and back.   Crete is 260 kms long.

On May 7th 2016 the Cretan Association of Queensland will hold their annual dance for the 75th anniversary in remembrance of The Battle of Crete, to be held at the Greek Club in West End.

Launch of the Forensics
Apr.17,2015

QAFFQ150 Click Here

On the evening of 30th March 2012 a group of enthusiastic footy fans attended the launch of the Queensland Australian Football Forensics at the Pineapple Hotel at Kangaroo Point in Brisbane.  The new Chief Executive Officer of AFL Queensland, Michael Conlan, kindly gave of his time to be in attendance to meet guests.

Forensics’ members Greg Parker and Robert Allen told the guests that the first footy club in Queensland was formed in 1866, and despite the game having a long, rich history in the state, very little of it had been formally recorded.  The primary goal of the Forensics – to document the history of the game, be it last season or a hundred seasons ago – was explained.  By sharing information, resources and ideas amongst fellow researchers, by promoting both the game and an appreciation of the game’s history, and by providing forums for the gathering of like-minded footy fans – whether lovers of the social side of things or the game’s history itself – guests were enlightened as to how the Forensics intend to reach their goals, and in so doing help others reach theirs.  Guest speakers at future functions would add colour and interest.

For helping to make the evening a success, thanks were given to Michael Conlan, Katy of the Pineapple Hotel, Spencer Howson of 612 ABC radio, Lisa McKoy and Craig Millar of AFL Queensland, Mark ‘The Ear’ Oberhardt of The Courier-Mail and John Harms of the Almanackers website.

 

Letter of Endorsement from AFLQ’s CEO Dean Warren

 

In 2016 the AFL Community will celebrate the 150th Anniversary of the formation of the first Australian Football club in Queensland, and as such, the birth of Australian Football in our State.

 

To mark the occasion, football historians Greg Parker and Murray Bird, in conjunction with the Queensland football history group, the Football Forensics, are working towards the 2016 release of a book which will detail the history of the game in this State.  The work of producing the book is nearing completion.

 

I am very much looking forward to the release of this publication which will be a long overdue account of our game’s rich history in Queensland, something about which little is widely known.  The volume will fill a void not only in the game’s documented history, but in that of Queensland itself.

 

On behalf of AFL Queensland, I strongly encourage any individual or company with the capacity to help bring this project to fruition to do so.

 

Yours sincerely

Dean Warren

Chief Executive Officer
