More than 5,000 competitors will flock to Western Australia next month as Scarborough Beach hosts the 2018 Australian Surf Life Saving Championships, known as ‘The Aussies’.
The Aussies is an annual event which sees members from Australia’s 311 surf clubs come together to compete in more than 400 beach and ocean events.
In addition to competitors, thousands more are expected to attend as spectators and support crew.
One of the world’s largest ocean sports events, The Aussies 2018, to be held between April 14 and 22, will showcase the amazing transformations of Scarborough, Perth and WA to the nation.
Tourism WA is supporting The Aussies and similar mass participation events as part of a wider plan to grow the number of visitors to the State over the next two years.
