Mike Smithson discovers South Australia's one and only cricket bat factory up at Gawler. In this cricket-mad country of ours, many people don't know that South Australia has long been the bat making capital.
In fact it's been that way for 111 years, Kumnick started in 1897 and Fielkes took over in the 1960's - this year Fielkes celebrate 40 years of cricket bat manufacture!
