Saturday/Sunday 6th-7th October. Spring in the tropics is unsurpassed.

Alongside the blue of the beautiful Coral Sea in Central Queensland at the Whitsunday SPORTS PARK - on the bay, just 1km from the great tourist centre of Airlie Beach 'The Party Town"
 
What?
A two day Rugby 10's tournament for both women and men players in 3 divisions, Cup, Plate and Bowl, so your team can fit into a slot with others of similar standards.
 
What Else?
Well there's all the usual activities traditionally associated with a Rugby tournament, but there's much. much more particulary, if you come for an extra couple of days.
You will be in the Whitsunday's, the best jumping off point for these spectacular islands and the Great Barrier Reef, you can indulge yourself in scuba diving or snorkelling, sailing on historic ocean racing yachts, reef fishing, visiting island resorts, playing golf on what is regarded as Australia's best resort golf course, parasailing, tandem sky diving or maybe just relaxing at Airlie's fabulous Lagoon (recently the centre of nation wide media attention for it's alleged nocturnal acitivities) sunbaking and watching the very attractive passing scenery. That is if you have the energy left after surviving a night in Airlie's main street bars and night clubs fighting off ardent backpackers. We can assure you that you won't be bored!
 
And?
Yes don't forget the annual Rugby Dinner with a well known Rugby identity as guest speaker, and an auction of Rugby bric and brac....
