Australian Women’s Sport and Recreation Tasmania
Womensport and Recreation Tasmania Inc. (WSRT) is a dynamic group dedicated to improving opportunities in sport and regular physical activity for women and girls. In Australia, there are only half as many women as men taking part in regular sporting activity. Womensport and Recreation Tasmania Inc. believes it is important to address this imbalance and enable and encourage women to become involved in regular physical activities.

Schoolgirl's Breakfast with the Stars 2009
The Hobart Schoolgirls Breakfast with the stars was a great success with 200 guests and schoolgirls attending. Female athletes that attended and sat on the tables with the girls included Donna McFarlane (runner), Emily Parker (cricket and hockey), Melinda Minstrell (soccer), Hanna Calvert, Nina Koury,Elizabeth Flannigan (U21 Hockey), Katie-Jane Hartshorn, Maddison Blazely, Jannelle Rattenbury (Twenty20 cricket) and Lyndall Herbert (soccer).
Allana Corbin gave a most remarkable account of first surviving a light aircraft crash and then reshaping her life after breaking her spine and being told she would never walk again. It was a truly inspiring story and one that everyone attending will be thinking of for a long time to come. Thankyou Allana for sharing it with us all.
Some members from the State Fuetsal team shared a laugh with Allana. If anyone is interested in getting a copy of Allana's book you can contact her direct by emailing allana@rotorlift.com.au
