In 1934 the great northern suburbs ethnic explorer Jeff Alowie discovered rich fertile soils on the plains of what is today the suburb of Paralowie. After extensive soil analysis it was suggested some maraguana plants(then used for its herbal and medicinal properties) be grown in vast forests in the perfect soils of the area with its close proximity to a water supply at the Large Para River. The Maraguana forests thrived in the area. With so much water being diverted to the hemp forests the Large Para River become the Midsize Para River before eventually becoming the Little Para River.
It was about this time that one of the forest workers, on his lunch break, lit up a doobie and somehow started a fire, destroying 4 acres of crops. The destroyed crop area roughly outlined an odd shaped circle or "oval" in todays parlance. The locals or "hermits" at the time figured they would make the burnt out area into a sports ground but had no idea what sport to play. It was at about this time ol' Jeff, who was cleaning out his pipe and had a hand full of hempy tar freshly scraped from his pipe, rolled it into a ball and shoved it inside a pair of socks and bowled the areas first full toss. Another worker in the plantation picked up a stick and cricket was born in the local area.
Within five years the Northern Areas Cricket Club started and ol' Jeff Alowie captained the side for well on twenty years. By the time ol' Jeff retired he was affectionately known as Pa. The local area was renamed in his honour Paalowie but due to a hard of hearing public servant Pa was typed as Par and the suburb become Paralowie. Local Sport in the area really took off when the cops raided the northern suburbs of a large percentage of its medicinal drug though tiny outcrops continue to this day. Good ol' Pa Alowie would be proud of todays generation of cricketers continuing on the tradition.
