Dinky-di Docklands
5th February, 2013
What could be more Aussie than a pair of thongs?
Perhaps a good old-fashioned thaong throwing competition?
While it may not be an Australian tradition yet, it might soon be a Docklands one.
A throng throwing competition was one of the highlights of the Australia Day celebrations in Docklands last month.
Crowds gathered to take a shot at throwing a thong from the waterside at Harbour Esplanade in an attempt to reach a barge located in the harbour.
Locals and visitors also enjoyed a sausage sizzle by Woolworths, which raised funds for the Royal Children’s Hospital.
There were plenty of activities happening all day in Docklands including fishing from Harbour Esplanade, kite making at the Piazza in NewQuay and an animal farm at Harbour Town.
