    Things To Note:

    Overview of sport and recreation in the region
    The Great Southern Region will overwhelm your senses with its beauty, majesty and tranquillity. The rugged coastline provides unbeatable scenery and
    oceanside adventure with popular family beaches and quiet sheltered bays.


    Sport & Recreation
    The natural attractions of the region lends itself nicely to nature based activities
    and outdoor recreation such as surfing, fishing, camping, boating, canoeing,

    abseiling, rock climbing, bush walking, 4-wheel driving, bird watching, camping and more.

    Sport and recreation in the region caters for all ages, interest and abilities.

    Passive and active recreation provides choice suited to most people.

    Walking is popular.  Art and craft is varied and of high standard.  Local groups support gardening, genealogy, drama, the arts, dog obedience and more.

     

    There are well over 500 listed sport and recreation clubs in the region representing over 100 different activities or disciplines.  Water activities

    such as swimming, surfing, sailing, canoeing, fishing, diving, snorkelling, water skiing, surf lifesaving and others are popular along the coastal areas.

     

    Mature aged persons maintain active lifestyles by participating in a wide range of comfortable activities. Community groups such as the Over 50's Recreation

    Association, Lyons Club, Rotary Club and other community, sport and recreation groups ensure that adequate and sufficient activities are on offer for mature aged persons.

     

    The WA State Masters Games, held bi-annually in the region, is a principle regional mature aged event that attracts entrants state wide and nationally.

    People with disabilities are provided opportunity to enjoy sports and activities in the region along side others. Regional recreation centres and

    community groups organise activities and events that cater for individuals with varying degrees of abilities and special needs.

     

    People of varying ages and abilities are encouraged to access sport and recreation opportunities in the region. Participants receive great benefits

    to health and lifestyle from their involvement and achievement in sport and recreation, and the communities in general prosper.
