Thought I'd post this up because I was visiting my pop the other day and seen it on his mantle, haven't been there in a while. Picked it up from the Bradman Museum in Bowral, we've been there a couple of times, most recently about 5 years ago.
Anyway, it's about 40cm tall I think and looks nice.
My partners father got it for me a few years ago,I do remember seeing one in prouds&edments jewelly shop here in Werribee,don't know where he got it from
Headed out to the Bradman Museum & International Cricket HOF (which it is now called) as since I went there last it has had a huge huge renovation. Received a $6.5m grant in 2008 and wow what a difference. Really enjoyed it.
Didn't take many photos and only bought a souvenir coin but there's certainly a boat load of merchandise to chose from and you could easily spend the whole day walking through but we did it in around 2hrs.
Night and day mate yeah, new little 200 seat movie theatre with a short movie on World Series Cricket/Kerry Packer and that room with the huge screens above obviously has plenty of room to put more stuff in. Loved looking around there.
Many years ago I had a look at the Bradman interactive exhibition at the State Library here in SA, which was amazing......can only imagine what the Bowral one looks like!!
In the days of uncovered wickets and no helmets it really is ridiculous how high Sir Don's batting average was!!
