The highlight will be the landing of two HARS Vietnam era Iroquois helicopters which will be open for inspection – see more event details via the flyer below!
Two iconic Iroquois helicopters will land at Corrimal to salute the final parade of the Vietnam Veterans Illawarra as a separate entity on Sunday 31 August.
The community is invited to watch the Iroquois helicopters land at the Rangers football ground at Wilga Street, Corrimal at 10.15 am. Only adverse weather or the operational reality of flying old aircraft will cause a postponement.
Operated and staffed by the Historical Aviation Restoration Society (HARS), ex RAAF and Army UH-1H 703 and former RAN UH-1B 898 will be on the ground and open for inspection until they depart at about 1.15 pm for their home base in Nowra.
The two will land simulating a ‘hot’ incursion using smoke flares under direction from ground controllers HARS member Ken Jackson. After both landings have been safely secured the helicopters will be open for inspection, firstly by the Vietnam Veterans and then by the general public.

SLIDE Youth Dance Theatre
2025-09-10 10:30 - 2025-09-12 21:00 | Studio Theatre, 19 Smith Street Mall, Darwin, NSW, Australia
“I think there is a difference between being ‘alone’ and being ‘lonely’. I mean, I’m not exactly an expert at life given I’m 15, but if you think about it, sometimes being alone is when you can be most happy, lost in your thoughts, dreaming, making plans, smiling at memories without looking like a weirdo. But with lonely, there is no way around that state of existence. Lonely is singular. And apart, and without, and silent. Lonely is loud and white noise and isolated. Lonely is invisible.”
Inspired by song lyrics that resonate with the cast, LIFE follows the lives of teenagers whose safe place is ‘where the music is’.
Song lyrics are the barometer of a generation, they speak for broken hearts, moments of pure celebration and days where the whole world seems troubled and confused. Songs are the soundtrack to our life.
Following a successful first season in 2023, LIFE focuses on lyrics, sign language communication and symbolism, and is a contemplative performance that uniquely speaks to our young generation.
Post-show talk
Enjoy a 15 minute Q&A with the cast and company following the performance.
Performance warning
Recommended for ages 13+
Contains strobe, haze, smoke effects and themes of isolation, bullying and loneliness.

Once Upon a Time
2025-09-11 19:00 - 21:30 | Burnie Arts Centre, 77-79 Wilmot Street, Burnie, TAS, 7320, Australia
Burnie High School, is very excited to be staging the Tasmanian premiere of the spectacular musical production Once Upon a Time. This is a very original show, loosely based on the fairy stories written by the Brothers Grimm. The plot features characters from Rapunzel, Rumpelstiltskin, Hansel and Gretel, Snow White and the Seven Dwarves, Cinderella and the Brave Little Tailor.
Three witches, together with Rumpelstiltskin plan to remove all of the princes from Fairyland so that there will be no-one to stop them in their bid to rule the kingdom. They are foiled, however, by Dame Rosy Parker and her friends who thwart their evil plan.
Featuring a cast, band and crew of over 160 students, this musical features lots of corny gags and represents excellent entertainment for audiences of all ages. One of the most appealing features of this production is the eclectic musical score that includes songs from artists such as ABBA, Lady Gaga, Michael Jackson and The Proclaimers.
