With some stiff competition, other teamsrepresented Australia, the NT, the Australian Defence Organisation, Macau China, Singapore, Malaysiaand Far North Queensland, we finished in a respectable 6th out of 11 teams.

Senior ACPO Lorraine Jones of the Indigenous Policing Development Division was recently presented with a plaque to recognise her contribution to the division, including coming up with the division name Yidiyu. Lorraine, who was formerly stationed at Timber Creek, came up with the name after taking part in the Lookrukin Leadership Program in 2006. The term Yidyu translated basically means us mob sitting talking and learning together. The plaque was the Divisions way of acknowledging Lorraines important and ongoing contribution.
