It’s Summer! It’s Cricket!

We’ve got some updates for you about the Ford Ranger Cup taking place on 26th January.

For those Cricket fans wanting to get more up close and personal with the players, there’s a Welcome Dinner planned that’s open to the public!

Taking place on Monday 25th January at the Master Builders Club, this dinner will see full representation from the RTA Speedblitz Blues and SA West End Redbacks, with Special Guest Speaker, Wayne Bennett.

Tickets are $100 per person which includes a 3 course meal and beverage package. Better yet – Tables of 10 are $1000 so grab some mates for what will undoubtedly be a great night of Cricket in the Gong!

Also – there’s a Match Corporate Area on Tuesday 26th January at $130 per person. Includes grandstand seating, morning and afternoon tean, Aussie BBQ lunch and 6 hour beverage package.

BOOKINGS ESSENTIAL: More info at Cricket Illawarra  or by contacting Bluejuice Events on 02 4221 1300.

Go the Blues!

Our favourite Wollongong photographger, Dee Kramer, has sent through some pictures he took from last years event. So we’ve pasted them throughout the site. Thanks Dee!

Dee is planning to be at the event again this year….so if you see a tall blond guy with several massive cameras hanging around his neck – say G’Day!

You can buy some of Dee’s other stunning landscape images of around Wollongong at the Southern Gateway Centre.

The team at Tourism Wollongong is looking forward to seeing some more pics from this years Australia Day in Wollongong event.

Never done an aquathon* before? Are you thinking to yourself, “I don’t even know what an Aquathon even is!” (Don’t worry, you’re probably not alone).

The Australia Day Illawarra Aquathon organisers know that not everyone is set to be the next Craig Alexander** so they’ve pulled together a ‘1st timers guide’, to help those knew to the sport.

(So your excuse for not entering is waining!).

More information on the 1st timers guide

Good luck!

* an aquathon is like a triathlon, but no bike….so a swim & a run.
