Thank you to everyone for their support from the rural parts in the aboriginal areas
on the mainland to the Torres Strait Islanders,” Mills said. They are considered as Melanesians.

I can understand not know the Torres STraight flag, most Australians wouldn't... but you seriously don't know what the Australian flag looks like? Not poking fun, just amazed :lol

I wore the Australian flag to every game I've been to at AT&T so people could identify me from SpursTalk, but most randoms who came up to say hi thought it was the NZ flag! :lol

The Spurs have quite an Australian pedigree now, what with Gaze in 1999, then Heal, now Patty (from Canberra, my home and where I am right now) and Aron. :)

This is mostly thanks to Brett Brown, who won championships coaching in Australia and forged the link with Aus as a recruiting ground.
