Nippers & Year of the Lifesaver

We wish to advise that the 2008 Australia Day Surfboard Challenge will not take place this Australia Day.

Significant efforts to find a replacement sponsor were made but nothing was able to be confirmed within the necessary timeframe.

It has been a highlight of the Australia Day harbour program since it commenced since 2003 and we will be working towards it returning as a highlight of Australia Day in 2009.

Should you have any questions or suggestions for the event, we would be pleased to hear from you. Please contact us via email at AustraliaDay@dpc.nsw.gov.au

The Australia Day Council of NSW is proud to support Surf Lifesaving Australia for 2007, in recognition of The Year of The Surf Lifesaver – 100 Years of Heroes.

Over the last 100 years, surf lifesavers have rescued more than 500,000 people on the nation’s beaches. 

2007 will mark the centenary celebrations of Surf Lifesaving in Australia, where the Australian community will be engaged in recognising the contribution of the surf lifesaver in the past, present and future and, to maintain the relevance and sustainability of Surf Life Saving.

The Australia Day Council of NSW is proud to support this unique humanitarian organisation through events and celebrations on 26 January 2007.  Australia Day celebrations will be kicked off with hundreds of nippers taking to the water in The Australia Day Surfboard Challenge.  The Australia Day Parade on Sydney Harbour will be led by a flotilla of Surf Boats in recognition of 100 Years of surf lifesaving in Australia.

Congratulations to all the nippers that took part in the Australia Day Surfboard Challenge.
