2010 RANAFA Tour
In July of this year, RANAFA toured the Top End as part of the Navy Community Engagement Programme. This proved to be an exciting initiative which raised the profile of Navy within the far north indigenous communities. The team travelled to Arnhem Land and the Tiwi Islands and culminated in the the guys playing an indigenous representational side prior to the Bulldogs v Port Adelaide AFL match at TIO Stadium. Check out the Darwin 2010 link for more photos.
