A message from Hugh’s family: We’re heartbroken to say that after months of illness Hugh died peacefully on the morning of the 29th of June. Widely admired by friends and colleagues, he was a beloved husband to Marilyn @lyrebird1 and adored father to Owen and Harry @MondayStory.

Smoke is visible north of #Canberra from a #bushfire near Burrinjuck Dam being fanned by gusty Westerly winds. @NSWRFS has water bombing aircraft in action and fire crews on the ground at Wee Jasper Road. Take care. A total fire ban applies in areas surrounding the #ACT.

The @orienteeringWOC has been on Nea Shingler’s map since she began orienteering 🏃‍♀️ The dream became a reality after she received support from the ASC’s Local Sporting Champions program to compete at the WOC in Denmark 💪 Check out Nea’s story here 👇

You can only wonder how many tennis majors Rod Laver could have won He ended on 11 with two grand slams despite missing 21 consecutive tournaments at the height of his career due to the amateur/professional divide The all-time record may have been his 🎾

BBC weather putting Sydney’s downpour into context. More rain there in 4 days than London gets in a year.

After battling injury, form and selection issues, Martin Dent changed sports and finally made it to the Olympics. Almost a decade after the London Games, the competitive spirit still burns bright ow.ly/HrH950FI9sd

It’s mandatory for anyone over the age of 16 to use Check In CBR at organised sporting activities. This includes players and spectators alike! Checking in is important because it helps with faster contact tracing. Download the app before your next game: covid19.act.gov.au/check-in-…

Another Orienteering "scandal" at stage 1 of #POM2020??? Many runners must have crossed either a forbidden wall or forbidden vegetation. M21E: in top 10, 3 runners have an impossible split time to 5th control, including the winner which also posted gps at Strava. #Orienteering
