Thanks to Streetsmarts, the Brisbane Heat are hitting the road across Queensland!
For the entire month of August, Queensland Cricket and the Brisbane Heat are encouraging kids right across the state to pick up a bat and ball to play cricket. Brisbane Heat players and the community cricket team will travel around Queensland to visit communities at free pop-up events thanks to Streetsmarts. Cricket is a great way for kids to meet new friends, learn coordination skill and have fun outdoors. Stay tuned for more information on the events happening near you.
We acknowledge and pay respect to our First Nations people and Traditional Custodians of the land and waters where we are privileged to live, work and play. We recognise and celebrate their spiritual and ongoing connection to culture and country. We respectfully acknowledge all elders past, present and emerging as we continue to cherish shared wisdom and grow with their guidance as we walk together toward a connected country.
Brisbane Heat’s indigenous artwork was collaboratively designed by WBBL player and proud Kunja woman Mikayla Hinkley and Brisbane Indigenous artist, Delores McDonald (“Aunty Delly”).
The centre circle represents the Gabba, alongside other water holes which used to be near the ground. 87 black strokes on red earth represent the wickets taken by Aboriginal great, Eddie Gilbert who played 23 games for Queensland.
