Need help finding a picture of Ex Australian Rep from the 60's

Hi,

We're trying to find an image of Gary Burling to use in the Bankstown Sporting Hall of Fames upcoming digital installation.

If you have an image of Gary in action or a way to pass this message on it would be appreciated.

Gary Burling was an Australian Rep for Ten Pin Bowling from 1967 - 1969.

We're hoping to find images of all of those who are being inducted.

Thanks

Kerinne

Attached is an old photo I have of the winning NSW team at the 1964 Walter Rachuig Trophy tournament. Gary is the 4th from the left.

Gary represented NSW in this national tournament in 3 consecutive years, 1964-1966, he was the men's high average in 1964 (183 average) and 1965 (191 average). NSW won all 3 times Gary was on the team.

According to my records Australia's first participation in the World Championships began in 1971 (Milwaukee) and Gary was not on that team. I do not have any records of Gary representing Australia prior this date. However, there are others on TB that have more knowledge than me on this topic and I'm sure some will be able to contribute more accurately through the early years of our sport in this country.

I hope this helps.
