NABS interpreters Ali Dowl and Liz Temple were part of the recent Australian Deaf Games in Adelaide.

They were mainly located at the Games Hub, with many organisations providing information and goodies to the community.

Thanks to everyone who stopped by to chat, ask questions and give us feedback.

Well done to all of the athletes for their efforts in the hot Adelaide weather.

When visiting sports venues, Liz and Ali report their favourite sporting moment was a hard fought netball match between Vic and SA ... ending in a draw!

Thanks for having us Adelaide!
