Late last year our WIA Australian ARDF coordinator Jack Bramham VK3WWW reported that a Norwgian television show by the name of "The Golden Goal" had contacted him in regard to the possible filming of a segment on ARDF and foxhunting in Australia. The Golden Goal is a high rating Norwegian sports show that prides itself on showing some of the worlds most unusual sports. A number of emails were exchanged between Jack and the shows producers, some helpful background information on foxhunting was supplied, with the final reply "we are coming to Melbourne can you arrange an event for us to attend"
A few options were suggested, it turned out that a foxhunt on December the 10th was the perfect opportunity for the crew. So the Golden Goal flew from Norway to Melbourne Australia two presenters, two cameramen a producer and a director, and filmed the amateur radio foxhunt! The night was a great success, everyone involved thoroughly enjoyed themselves, it was filmed in a light hearted way, the crew got some great footage and the show has now been aired in in Norway on their commercial television network. We are pleased to be able to provide you with a look at what the guys put together in the YouTube clip below.
