NORTHERN TERRITORY GOVERNMENT MEDIA RELEASE
YARRALIN AIRSHOW TAKES-OFF
The small community of Yarralin south of Darwin will host the first airshow in a remote area on August 12.
Chief Minister Clare Martin has officially announced the inaugural Outback Airshow and Concert.
“This more than just an airshow – it’s about a community taking a dream and turning it into a reality,” Ms Martin said.
“This is the result of a great community effort by the Walangeri Ngumpinku Community Government Council, traditional owners and pastoralists.
“The displays of exceptional airmanship and fly-pasts are expected to attract tourists from around Australia.
“The event will feature aerobatic champion Chris Sperou, parachuting, low level RAAF jet fly-pasts, formation flying, model aircraft, and rarely seen military jets from overseas.
“The hi-tech aeronautical hardware will be complemented by bush tucker including turtle, turkey, goanna and wallaby.
“The entertainment will continue into the night with rising Aboriginal band NOKTURNL and the Battle of the Bands.
“In true outback style, visitors will be encouraged to bring their swags and sleep under stars,” Ms Martin said.
