GRAEME ‘WOMBAT’ KINE RETURNS TO PAN PACIFIC GAMES

A comeback story, two years ago, Novocastrian Graeme ‘Wombat’ Kine suffered a stroke while playing softball at the Pan Pacific Games.

After rehabilitation to regain his speech and ability to walk, on Friday the 66-year-old was back on the Gold Coast to throw the first pitch at this year’s event.
