It’s not about culture, race or anything like that, it is just about everyone coming together for a good day out and some fun

“It’s not about culture, race or anything like that, it is just about everyone coming together for a good day out and some fun,” Mr Herden said.
The day will include a whole variety of sports and modified sports including basketball, tennis, cricket, soccer, netball, softball and plenty more played for all ages and skill levels.
The reaction at Billabong House has already been so great that they are in the process of putting a lawn bowls team together for regular competition.
The Sports Gala Day will kick off at 9.30am on March 21 and will include a free lunch at the Sports Dome.
