On the last Saturday of February, Buckley Park Nagambie becomes the home of games, prizes, live music, food, and the battle for glory in the famous Club2Pub swim across Lake Nagambie. That’s right, the action-packed Nagambie On Water Festival is just around the corner!
The fun goes all day with an early start with an 8am run for the brave of heart, before the furious swim across the lake begins. If you’re in it for the glory, the 1.1km swim across the lake is the perfect challenge with the legendary Ryan Gowty Memorial Trophy up for grabs.
For the beginners and the laid-back competitors, the 600m swim is the ideal place to dive into the action. A good time for all ages, the challenges continue throughout the day, with grape squashing a highlight for both kids and adults, as long as you’re ready to get messy.
With only a $5 entry fee, the Costa Kayak Time Trial is your chance to snatch the fastest time and the prize money. The Goulburn Gallop Yabby Cup (yes, a yabby race) brings in heated competition and a bit of local pride. The Beer Automotive Group Floating Golf Shootout stands out for its whopping $5,000 prize – letting you prove your golf skills on a very different kind of playing field.
As the evening settles in, prepare yourself for the entertainment to really start, with live music from Tallarook’s own The Skerricks, soundtracking the evening from 4r-7pm. Be sure to bring along your picnic baskets, rugs and a cozy blanket for the open air cinema presented by the Strathbogie Shire Council – the perfect way to relax with the family after a day of fun and competition.
Don’t forget the date, February 28, for a day you’ll remember, at Lake Nagambie. To sign up for the fun, and get all the details, visit www.gonagambie.com.au.
