Look out for the Road Train this month as we visit towns in Tasmania, Victoria and South Australia.
Capital day
On Sunday, March 11, we joined the Celebrate Canberra Festival to say “Happy Birthday!” to our nation’s capital. Highlights included Test Kitchen Director Pamela Clark’s impressive recipes and a fashion parade featuring the latest looks and accessories from Sussan, hosted by The Weekly’s executive style director, Jane de Teliga. The crowd got some great tips from gardening expert Jackie French on how to keep gardens looking lush during drought and Dr Helen Zorbas was there with an important message from the National Breast Cancer Centre. A spectacular performance by Cirque du Soleil was a perfect end to a fun day.
What’s on
Community spirit
At every town we visit, not only does the Commonwealth Bank offer financial workshops, but its Community Spirit initiative makes a donation to a local community group, based on the amount of tokens an audience member collects from the giant Community Spirit inflatable booth at the Road Train. So come and support your local group — the more tokens collected, the larger the donation!
