That’s what they do… Army Reservist to Footy Coach

Gabriel Nodea who comes from Warmun, otherwise known as Turkey Creek, has been an active leader among his people for some years. He enjoyed a distinguished career with the Army Reserve Unit Norforce in the past and these days is a keen helper with community events. Recently Gabriel turned his hand to coaching the local footy team – the Warmun Eagles.

The Warmun Eagles played in their first East Kimberley Aussie Rules Grand Final. They lost to the Kununurra Magpies in a closely fought battle by only 8 points. As one commentator put it, “This was an exciting match, a real crowd pleaser, and though the Magpies triumphed on the day the Warmun Eagles have every right to be proud of their achievement and their commitment to the game”.
