South West Life

Thursday 11 March is Cup Day.  This is the main event on the South West Racing Calender and has been described as the South West’s biggest one-day party.

Sunday 28th February 2010, saw the running (or maybe that should be riding) of the 13th annual Karri Cup Mountain Bike Challenge 2010.  Held over the Labour Day Long Weekend, over 450 competitors, along with their support crews, headed to the Northcliffe Township in the South West of Western Australia, to set up camp.

The 2010 Geographe Bay Race Week was another fantastic event of racing action, with races held in the Geographe Bay, of Busselton, Western Australia.  Racing began on 20 February, right through to the final race on 26 February.

The reality of the fire season was brought home to Busselton residents as a large fire, centred around the wetlands, south-west of the Light Industrial Area sprang into life again, on the afternoon of Tuesday 23 February 2010.

The Be Active Busselton Jetty Swim 2010 held in conjunction with the National Heart Foundation was held on the weekend of Saturday 6th and Sunday 7th February 2010. Ongoing repair work being carried out on the Busselton Jetty prevented teams from participating in this year’s event, but a 1 km short course was added to the format for those not able to swim the 3.6 km around the Busselton Jetty.
