Tennis balls have come a long way since they were invented, a long, long time ago, in the e12th century, for a game played at that time in France. This game was originally called “Jeu de Paume”, which translates to “game of the palm”, because it was played with hands, and nowadays in English, it’s referred to as real tennis. In different countries, they used different materials to make the balls for the predecessors of today’s tennis, which went through a series of changes, and it wasn’t until 1882 that the tennis ball was perfected by Walter Clopton Wingfield, and it took almost a century for the ball to get the colour we now know and love.

If you're a hunter, and especially if you're a hunter in Australia, you'll know all about changes of weather and how easy it can be for you to be cold one minute, but boiling up on the inside the next. Australia has been blessed with amazing nature and lots of wildlife which create the perfect conditions for passionate hunters to practice their sport. However, as pretty as nature is, it can also be quite harsh, so being properly prepared when you're about to go off into the wilderness is of utmost importance. This, of course, means carrying quite a bit of items with you.
No tool has stood the test of time better than the knife. From the carved stone knives of nomadic hunters ages ago to the wide variety of knives found today, the knife has retained its basic form and function – that of a sharp cutting tool. Essential in any type of food preparation, knives have also found uses outside of hunting or the kitchen. Hunting knives today are used extensively by campers, fishermen, hikers or anyone requiring a sturdy cutting utensil. Besides having an adequate pair of fishing pliers while fishing, or do-it-all multi-tools when camping, you'll find a hunting knife to suit these or any type of outdoor task.
