This much-loved event has returned to our region, and it’s celebrating 40 years.
From yesterday, Sunday 8th to Friday 13th November, athletes with a disability from Victoria, South Australia and New South Wales will compete, connect and celebrate through sport.
Mildura Rural City Council say they are proud to back this major event through their Events Funding and Supports Grant.
It promotes inclusion and community spirit, and it’s also expected to bring almost $470,000 to our local economy.
