Eleven-year-old Angelo Tsakaris from Darwin has won six national titles in snooker and eight ball. He took up the game after watching his grandfather play. He recently represented Australia at the international blackball championships in the UK. Fifteen-year-old Adam Grace is the best eight ball player in the Northern Territory, adults included. He practises for hours each day and will compete at the national eight ball championships as the youngest-ever NT champion. Local officials say the territory has several young players competing at international level.
A large family home at 6 Tramway Court in Bulli has been listed for sale. The residence sits on 941 square metres, the largest block on its estate, and offers nearly 600 square metres of internal space. It includes a separate two-bedroom ground-floor apartment, a wellness area with a sauna and ice bath, and an award-winning pool and spa. Agent Jeremy Hodder of HodderBorg says the home was designed to feel like a resort and has been enjoyed by the owners for 18 years.
Adam and Jolene have won episode 41 of The Block, finishing with 29 points to Courtney and Sev's 28.25. Their victory came after a secret bonus point they won the previous week. Judges praised their outdoor kitchen but criticised a high table that blocked the view of the pool. Courtney and Sev were praised for their large deck, though judges said it was not fully finished. Lisa and Rosco were judged to have the weakest pool area of the day.
