THE next season of the Amazing Race Australia includes a contestant with links to the NT.

WA contender Katherine Dann now lives in Broome but plays for St Marys Football Club’s Women’s Premier League team.

AFLW is one of her favourite hobbies, along with a number of other pastimes synonymous with the Northern Territory.

“I love playing sport, especially AFL,” she said.

“I love fishing and camping and love being with my daughter.”

Katherine’s brawn will match her teammate and cousin Dwes Wiggan-Dann’s confidence and strategic skills, with their sense of adventure and experiences from the Kimberly stronger than any argument they are likely to have.
