A tight-knit Tasmanian community is succeeding both in the sporting arena and beyond.
Scamander, an East Coast hotspot with a population of around 700 people, has won bowls and cricket premierships in recent weeks, but is also making a difference outside of the sporting bubble.
The bowls club has been raising money for a Beaumaris family, whose three-year-old daughter Elvi was diagnosed with a brain tumour late last year.
"Living on the East Coast, we're isolated and have to drive to Hobart each week, so the community in the background, and the bowls club are a part of that, has just been unbelievable," father Justin Emmerton said.
"There's been so much support, and that's the benefit of living in a small community I guess.
"You don't think things are going to happen to anyone, you or your family, and when they do, it's just unbelievable."
After noticing an issue with Elvi's left eye, she was diagnosed with a Glioma tumour, which resulted in weekly chemotherapy treatment in Hobart for 18 months.
Emmerton said the prognosis was good, although Elvi has lost sight in the eye and there's a major chance it may not return.
"Because she's so young, it doesn't seem to bother her at all," he said.
"People have come out with open arms, we have meals dropped off to our house twice a week ... and people have just come around with fuel vouchers.
"We didn't want to do a GoFundMe because there's a lot of people worse off than us, but it's just our situation and we'll deal with it ourselves."
'Power of work'
On the greens, the bowls club has been a powerhouse in the East Coast competition across recent years.
Competing against St Marys, Bicheno and Swansea, Scamander has won five premierships in a row and is once again headed to the state championships on April 18.
"We get a few bowlers come up from Falmouth, some from up the top of Mount Elephant Pass, from Ansons Bay or St Helens," committee member Robert Anderson said.
"Over the years, we've had quite a few players come and go, as you do in the little country places, but five years in a row is quite good for any club.
"Hawthorn still carry-on about their three-peat, and I don't know what five in a row is, whether it's a peat or something else."
Anderson, formerly the general manager of the NTFA for 17 years, moved to Scamander five years ago after first buying a caravan there in 1988.
Joining the bowls club, he said he doesn't play many games "because I'm not bloody good enough", but enjoys the community atmosphere.
He praised the hard work of president Michael 'Sammy' Seymour, secretary Jo Howe and in particular, treasurer Bruce Reeves.
"He's been involved for as long as I've been here and God knows how many years before ... he does a power of work," Anderson said.
"He's always up at the club rooms, Friday night you'll find him there and then every Sunday selling meat-tray raffles.
"People just walk in and leave their money, he looks after the tickets and rings them if they've won something."
'Staple for the young fellas'
The bowls club is a part of the Scamander Sports Complex, which also incorporates the golf, eight-ball and cricket clubs.
The cricket club also achieved success this year, winning both the senior and junior premierships in the East Coast Cricket Association.
"It's been a staple for the young fellas of the community to have that opportunity to have a solid club where they can do something they love and be active," president Scott Bennett said.
"It's just having that outlet for kids to do something on the Coast, which there's not a lot of things that kids get to do down here in a team environment."
Bennett has been involved with the club for two decades, having been president for 15 years and intermittently serving as junior coach.
He led the junior team to victory this year, getting to share the moments with his sons.
"We've only got the one age-group, so we have the nine and 10-year-olds playing with the 15-year-olds," he said.
"Luckily the older boys shone through this year and hopefully that showed the younger generation how to do it and that'll be good for them to see what they have to step up to do.
"Obviously premierships are the cream on top, and as a coach I was lucky that I got to coach my three boys, so that was obviously fantastic for me, but the club side of things, success drives more people to come and play."
