  9. Sincere condolences to Sue and the Cullinan clan.
    What a fantastic champion cricketer Col was not only for his club but Sunraysia Cricket, the then Mallee Cricket Zone and Victorian Country over many seasons. Certainly one of the best all-rounders I’ve seen and played against.
    Well played always Col, Peter Wild, fellow life member Sunraysia Cricket.

  11. Col Cullinan,
    Thanks mate. Not only were you a Brother-in-law, you were an uncle, a mentor and best of all a friend. Great discussions over farming, our pet birds, cricket, Geelong and anything else that came up. You showed our kids to ride motorbikes, use a stockwhip and generally appreciate the bush. Some great times at Comarto and in Mildura with you and Aunty Doo. It has been very hard losing you while we are overseas but the suffering has stopped. We will all miss you Col. To us you weren’t the great cricketer or the farmer, you were just Cully.

    Ian and Wendy Kelly.
