GAYNDAH TRIATHLON
For the past several years Gayndah has hosted a triathlon to promote healthy lifestyles in our rural district. The event (with local council, government and community support) encourages people who would not normally undertake a triathlon (or exercise generally) to give it a go. The triathlon is an event that many make the annual trip to Gayndah to experience, with our local hospitality and great sense of community a big incentive.
We are planning for our next triathlon in October 2011 so we hope
to see you there.
