Arafura Games

Up-and-coming sports talent showcased at Arafura Games 2009

More than 2000 athletes competing in 26 sports came together in Darwin last week to celebrate the very best emerging sportsmen and women have to offer at the Arafura Games 2009.

Representing countries from across the Asia Pacific region and beyond these young men and women demonstrated their skill on the sports field and their fellowship socially.

For 18 years the Arafura Games has been pivotal in focussing attention on emerging athletes, offering them the opportunity to compete in an international competition the like of which occurs nowhere else in the world.
