Arafura Games 2007 May 12th - 19th
For those of you who don't know what the Arafura Games are about, here is a Message from the Minister for Sport and Recreation...
As Minister for Sport and Recreation for the Northern Territory, I welcome you to join us at one of the leading sporting events on the Asia Pacific calendar – the Arafura Games.
The Arafura Games has secured its reputation as one of the world’s most unique multi-cultural sporting events, and as a breeding ground for the emerging champions of the Asia Pacific region. The Northern Territory Government is proud to play host once again to our international sporting neighbours to join in a week-long celebration of sporting competition, cultural diversity and friendship.
The Arafura Games is about more than just sporting competition; it focuses on providing a sporting experience and professional development that will benefit competitors, coaches and officials alike. During the Games, people from all over the world converge in Darwin to witness the thrill of top-class competition and to experience the cultural vitality typical of this tropical city. The Territory continues to show its support for the Arafura Games and welcomes our sporting neighbours as they make their way across the Arafura Sea.
I wish all competitors well as they tread the stepping stones toward competition at the highest level, and wish players, spectators, coaches and administrators alike a warm and friendly welcome to Darwin in May 2007.
