The Aussie heroes are on a whirlwind speaking tour around Australia.

There are early plans for them to come to Katherine on October 18.

Considered by many in the sport to be the fastest bowler of all time, "Thommo" is sure to be a hit with fans.

Locals can expect a few tales about how Thommo scared the pants off batsmen with his thunderbolts in the days before wearing helmets was standard practice.

With an unusual slinging action and an aggressive approach, he was a fearsome sight to batsmen in the 1970s, along with his bowling partner Dennis Lillee.

In the 51 Test matches he played for Australia, Thomson managed a massive 200 wickets with an average of 28.

Thomson played his final Test against England from August 15-20, 1985.

He became one of just 43 players from the almost 140-year history of Australian cricket to be inducted to the Hall of Fame in 2016.

His sidekick from that era, star batsman Doug Walters, is also expected to be part of the visit.

Katherine Times will update fans when we have more details on where and when.
