postheadericon Byron Bay Hens Night Ideas

Byron Bay is a popular destination for Wedding Celebrations and when you've got weddings, you have Hen's Nights for the Girls and Stag Parties for the Boys.

Here in Australia, a Hen's Party is a celebration held for a woman who is about to be married. A bit like a bachelor party held for men, but in this case a bachelorette party. So, the bride to be is taken out for a wild time with her bridesmaids and friends so that she can party one last time before getting hitched.

Obviously, a Byron Bay Hens Nights can lead to some pretty crazy activities, but not eveyone wants to wake up under a strange verandah with a dog licking their face and no memory of how they got there.

Byron Bay Art Celebrations bring a classy start to any Hen's Night Out that combines fun, art and a little excitement with beautiful nude male models. Byron Bay Hens NightShobhan Oliver is an established Byron Bay artist that has combined her passion for teaching art with having a really fun time. She leads a class for up to 18 girls where you'll spend 3 hours drawing male nudes at her beautiful Byron bay art studio. You can also arrange groups in other locations.

The best thing about this type of Hens celebration is that you can start your night with a bonding experience where the girls can let down there guard, have a laugh and get to know each other before the big night on the town starts.

All art materials, instruction, drinks and nibbles, and a lot of laughs are supplied. The models are always beautiful and you can take as long as you need to get all their details dowqn on paper.

postheadericon Wooli Goanna Pulling Championships

Every October, people gather in Wooli for The Australian National Goanna Pulling Championships. A Goanna is an iconic Australian lizard similar to a monitor lizard that can grow to nearly 2 metres in length.

Goanna Pulling is where 2 people lay facing each other on a mat and perform a tug-o-war, but instead of pulling the rope with their hands they have a leather belt that is around their heads. Then, they arch their backs and push with their hands to pull their opponent across a line like a traditional tugging match.

Wooli has been hosting The Australian National Goanna Pulling Championships every October. 2012 will be Wooli's 26th annual Goanna Pulling Championship.

The Goanna Pulling Championship is a great holiday where lots of things are happening in Wooli: Wood Chopping, Childrens Races, The Wooli Sprint, Brick Carrying, Fireworks and special markets. Goanna Pulling is not just for the men - it's a fun filled experience for all the family.

Wooli is normally a quiet seaside village where you can have a perfect family holiday. Wooli is in the NSW North Coast in the Clarence Valley 30 minutes from Grafton.
