Sport

Competition and fun

With our diverse geography, we offer a diversity of sporting experiences – from community-centred spectator sports to world-class golf, watersport adventures, horseracing and lawn bowls.

The highlight for many is the annual Australian Billy Cart Championships on Easter Saturday in Corowa; a simple, fun day full of racing genuine hospitality and family activities.

A sunny round of golf goes without saying, and – if you’re after a moment of peace – there’s nothing more relaxing than rolling out your yoga mat right on the riverbank.

Whether you want to fuel your competitive spirit (try an Easter tennis tournament) or prefer to spectate at the Corowa Cup horseracing, the World Show Ski Championships, or some local footy, it’s all on offer North of the Murray.

community sports

Leave the massive stadiums behind and get a taste of real, authentic grass-roots community sport. Australian rules football is at the heart of the community in our smaller towns, with men, women, girls and boys all competing for local pride. Spend your winter Saturdays down at the local football ovals and barrack for the home team.

If you’d rather get out and play, grab a racket and play tennis against family, friends or willing locals on one of the many manicured grass and synthetic courts located across the region. Most courts are available for hire, or visit at Easter and compete in the Annual Easter Tennis Tournaments in either Corowa or neighbouring Yarrawonga, with its 23 top-class courts.
