Parkes Phoenix

Our Bloke – Thomas Unger

June 11, 2021 By Maggi Barnard

Vice Captain Parkes Christian School Thomas Unger

How old are you? 17

Where do you go to school? Parkes Christian School.

What is your favourite after school activity? I usually like spending some of the afternoon playing the piano, though I should practice the music I’m meant to more.

What is your favourite food, movie and music? Any kind of spicy food is pretty good, I don’t really watch heaps of movies but ‘Hunt for the Wilderpeople’ is always pretty funny, and my favourite kind of music has to be country and classic Aussie rock.

What do you want to do when you grow up? I’m not real sure yet, but I’ll probably be driving a Hilux ute and flying planes at some point.

If you could have a super power what would it be? Flying for sure, it would be awesome to fly around cliffs and get everywhere quickly.

What makes you laugh the most? I know Dad would like me to say it’s his jokes, but it’s probably listening to my mates tell stories that seem to change every time they get told.

If you were the ruler of your own country, what would be the first law you would introduce? I would ban yellow lollies, as they are always the last ones left in the bag for a reason.

Tell us an interesting fact about yourself. I’ve climbed to the top of Mt Kosciusko, and being the tallest mountain in Australia, I thought it would be downhill the whole way down but I was wrong.
