We are boosted by wind power these October holidays as we celebrate the epic 1983 America’s Cup win!

Taking inspiration from the famous yacht Australia II, we are crafting our own wind powered devices.

Make an iconic boxing kangaroo battle-flag kite and a wind spinner. Colour your own Australia II hat to take home, and decorate the Aussies or the Americans for the win on our digital screen. Send out your spinnaker and come ride the wind!

Ride the waves of imagination propelled by the wind's boundless energy!
