Bledisloe Cup

 

The Bledisloe Cup is the symbol of the famed trans-Tasman rivalry in rugby union. The All Blacks have taken home the Cup for six consecutive series and the Qantas Wallabies are desperate for their turn.

 

The Qantas Wallabies were winless in last year’s series and the boys will not allow a repeat in 2010 with two of the three matches to be played on home turf. They will be out to show the All Blacks who’s in charge from kick-off all the way to the final whistle. Will 2010 be the year of the Qantas Wallabies?

 

Test 3: 11th September, 2010 – ANZ Stadium, Sydney
Kick off at 8:00pm

 

With an array of talent such as Matt Giteau, Berrick Barnes and James O’Connor, the Qantas Wallabies look ready to bring home the Bledisloe Cup and stamp their domination over the All Blacks in 2010.

 

An allocation of Silver tickets is on offer to all ANZSLA Conference attendees & their guests. Tickets are $114 each and are grouped together behind the goals posts. Please click here to download the seating plan.

The Bradman Museum of Cricket

 

The Bradman Museum of Cricket is committed to the long-term preservation and display of some very significant historical material associated with the game and its greatest batsman.

 

The Bradman Museum of Cricket is situated beside picturesque Bradman Oval and opposite the former Bradman family home, where it captures the heart of cricket and relives the triumphant
Bradman story.

 

Adjacent, in the Museum courtyard, is ‘A Final Salute’, the life-size bronze statue of Sir Donald
Bradman, dedicated to his memory.

 

In his latter years, Sir Donald Bradman described his time in Bowral as some of his happiest
days. Bowral is where the young Don played his early cricket, honed his skills and launched his
playing career. One of his final wishes was for his ashes to be returned to his boyhood town.

In a private ceremony in 2001, the Bradman family scattered Sir Donald's and Lady Bradman's
ashes in the Bradman Oval precinct. The nearby garden that bears their name is filled with the
Sir Donald Bradman Rose.

 

The Tour includes mini coach transport to the Museum, entry to the Bradman Museum of Cricket and return mini coach transport. Departs from Shangri-La at 9:30am and returns approximately 3pm.

 

Cost per person is $60.00. If you would like to purchase a ticket, this can be done on the online
registration form.
