Source: www.broncos.com.auWOW Brisbane Broncos and NSW Origin player Peter Wallace will travel to Western Queensland for the annual Australia Post Broncos Community Tour next week.
Wallace and future star Gerard Beale will be part of a large Brisbane Broncos contingent that will traverse regional Western Queensland during the annual Australia Post Broncos Community Tour.
The 13th annual Australia Post Broncos Community Tour will kick-off in Toowoomba on Thursday 19th November and travel to Chinchilla, Roma, Charleville, St George and Goondiwindi among several other communities.
During the seven day tour more than 2000 children will attend Broncos training clinics, learning first-class football skills from some of their sporting heroes.
A team of eight including league internationals Michael Hancock and Michael De Vere and former NRL top grader Darren Burns will be among the Broncos' touring party.
Wallace will join the group in Roma before returning to pre-season training in Brisbane over the weekend. Beale, who made his NRL debut for the Broncos this year, will take up with the tour for their scheduled visit to Charleville on Monday.
With tour sponsor Australia Post committed to encouraging the literacy levels of Queensland children, the Broncos are introducing a letter writing competition encouraging participants to share their experiences of the Broncos via mail. Broncos prize-packs are up for grabs, with the lucky winner will have their winning entry published in the next edition of the Bronco magazine early next year.
Members of the public will also have the opportunity to meet their league heroes at a range of appearances at Australia Post outlets.
"Australia Post is committed to fostering a healthy sporting attitude amongst the children of Queensland," said Mrs. Brodie.
"We are proud to have sponsored The Broncos Community Tour, now in its 13th year, since its inception in 1996.
"After tours to North Queensland in the last few years, we are thrilled to see the tour returning to the west to give children a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to meet their footy heroes and the chance to write to their favourite Broncos player."
Broncos Game Development Co-ordinator Paul Dyer said the Broncos had always been committed to developing the game of Rugby League throughout Queensland.
"Although the emphasis will be on having fun and staying active, the kids will benefit from learning first class coaching tips and skills from current and past Broncos legends," said Dyer.
The Broncos fan base is the most extensive in the nation, having recently been voted in a recent Roy Morgan poll as the most supported sporting team in Australia with 1.26 million fans nationwide.
"The Broncos have a proud history and very loyal fans, some of which travel from country Queensland to attend games on a regular basis" said Broncos Sponsorship Executive Vicki Ciocca.
"Being Queensland's founding league team in the national competition, we still maintain a large fan base throughout the state and continue to develop the game at every opportunity.
"The club has always been committed to recognising the efforts of our fans and realise that a majority are unable to make the long distances to meet their heroes in person.
"Tour and founding club sponsor Australia Post share a common goal with the Broncos in providing unique opportunities to youth and this is a way to reward our country fans.
"The Australia Post Broncos Community Tour has reached in excess of 30,000 Queensland children over the 13-year period. It is only through the ongoing commitment from tour sponsor Australia Post that we are able to bring these tours to regional Queensland."

Source: www.broncos.com.auFormer Australian Test player Michael De Vere has accepted a role with the WOW Brisbane Broncos coaching staff for season 2009.
De Vere will join fellow former Bronco first graders Allan Langer, Shane Webcke, Paul Green and Peter Ryan as specialist assistant coaches under new head coach Ivan Henjak.
De Vere, who has been part of the Broncos junior coaching system as development officer at Easts Carina Junior Rugby League Club, said he was excited with the new full-time position.
"It has been one of my goals to work with the NRL squad so this is a great opportunity," he said.
"I didn't want to jump into coaching straight away so I have been working in coaching and development with Easts Carina for the past couple of years.
"I believe that will give me a good grounding for this job.
"The other thing is I love the Broncos - this has always been the club where I wanted to take on a position like this."
Henjak said De Vere, who completes the assistant coaching structure, would be a great role model for all Bronco players.
"I coached him in reserve grade when he first came to the club and he has always been a person I admired," said Henjak.
"As a player I admired his professionalism, his work ethic, and his dedication.
"He was always so determined to get what he wanted.
"I think that's what we want the Broncos to be about and he will be the perfect example of that."
De Vere played 170 first grade game for the Broncos, scoring 64 tries and 413 goals for a career tally of 1082 points, second only in club history to Darren Lockyer.
He also represented NSW in five State of Origin matches and played four Tests for Australia.
