Welcome to The Gravel Pit

Queenstown 'Gravel Pit' Promotional Video, shot during a typical Queenstown Quolls 'Ninja Thursday' training Session


The gravel oval at Queenstown on Tasmania's west coast is infamous.


Early attempts to sow grass there failed because of high rainfall and sulphur emissions from a nearby copper smelter which has since closed down.
It is believed it was the first ground in Tasmania to use a siren, with the club borrowing an emergency siren from the nearby Mount Lyell copper mine.
Legend also has it that the ashes of more than one old soldier form part of the playing surface.
The ground was nominated for heritage listing in 2002, but Heritage Tasmania's Michael Lynch says it has only begun hearing submissions now.
The oval was inducted into the Australian Football League's Hall of Fame in 2007.
Even if the heritage bid fails, Councillor Gerrity says the infamy of 'The Gravel' will live on.
'Lots of tourists come in and see the famous gravel oval,' he said.
'We sell four tonnes a year of gravel off the oval,'




The Queenstown river has also felt some of the impact from the nearby mines over the years, but locals insist it is still a perfectly fine source of water for making beer. Orange Trout are the speciality of the area.

My my, but the ORFFL marketing division has picked up all of a sudden.

Hearing footsteps, I wonder?

 

Actually it's a repost from 6 January, at least you seem to rate yourself though I guess X

Dear BB,

ORFFA management would like to unreservedly apologise for any offence caused by comments during recent management visits to Queenstown.

ORFFA Management in hot water at Queenstown.

P.S. We'd both like to come trout fishing there if possible.

 

Just as long it's not a Quoll poaching trip, you're always welcome.

Catch a Quolls game while you're in town, there's something strangely compelling about watching footy played on gravel by miners

 

Now updated with team list and photo

 

Your a LIAR. Megan belongs at the Nuffers. You'll pay my friend. Keep watching over your shoulder. Vendetta

 

Bring it, upstart

 

Promotional video added, and a couple of photos to show Andy why the Nuffers aren't particularly intimidating for our boys

 

Was always hoping for that song to make an appearance. Classic.

Kid wanna get up, the kid gets touched.
Kid wanna stick up, the kid gets stuck.
I'm the one that calls your bluff when your boys try to act tough.

 

Certainly a classic, for one reason or another.

Although at the end there training did get a little bit heated...

 

After the Nuffers finish with you, the only thing you'll need to dig in the gravel will be

Appearance by "Cheese" as "Joe Quarry" helps also

 

What? A new hairpiece?

Not many of them around the Gravel Pit

 

Also now thanks to one of the ORFFA luminairies(cheers Bandit), patrons can enjoy the all new interactive Queenstown Quolls signature line!

Which just takes you back here again, so maybe I should have posted this elsewhere?

 

Oooh, like the new uniforms.

 

After our consignment of uniforms were mysteriously waylaid and ended up on Sarah Island with some crappy emblem glued over the front we decided against ordering any more, but then luckily when Swannie was pulling a shift down the copper mine training last week he accidentally ripped the sleeve of his work-shirt and thought it looked alright and did the other one. We have since spared no expense in adjusting all of the players mining gear guernseys to match. They were originally blue, but after a couple of shifts training sessions everything seems to go black for some reason
