Concept Page The theme for this year’s Austcham Ball is “Great Southern Land”, which is a famous Australian song, and has been inspired by the deep history and diverse culture of Australia. Australia has something for everyone from the beach to the desert and we have tried to incorporate every aspect of this rich way of life. During the course of this evening the guests will be taken on a journey through some of the most famous areas of Australia and have a chance to become completely immersed in the way of life. Our aim is to thrill the guests by transporting those who are from Australia back home for one night, and those who have never been to a new and exciting other world

Backdrop Design Ideas

Decoration Elements

Registration THEME: Great Barrier Reef and Beach As the guests arrive they will be immediately transported into another time and place. Upon arrival the guests will be greeted at the registration area which will have a sand and surf theme. In keeping with this theme, the guests will then get their first opportunity of many to take a fun photograph. The photo opportunity at the registration area will include 2 live models dressed as lifeguards and a towering wave on the backdrop behind with a 3D shark’s head. This will give the guests a great memento to take home from the evening.

Photo Opportunity 2

Foyer & Cocktail THEME: Beach and Outback From the registration the guests will be shown to the “beach bar” located in the foyer for cocktails. This area will be a mixture of beach and outback theme and will get another photo opportunity with another 3D board. This photo opportunity will be a backdrop of the Stuart Highway with a Ute and a 3D sign post showing the distance from Shanghai to the main cities in Australia. The outback feel will be enhanced with joke outhouses (“Sheila's” and “Blokes”) and swags as well as anything else you may need for a night in the outback.

Foyer & Cocktail (cont’d)

Ballroom Entry Tunnel: Outside THEME: Mining Tunnel The tunnel leading into the ballroom will have a mining tunnel entrance. This is in keeping with the theme for the event as a lot of Australia’s tradition and history is from the days when the occupation was one of the most fruitful. The entrance to the tunnel will have the walls of a mine and their will be lanterns, mining carts and canary cages along with tools and helmets to complete the fee of being in a real mine shaft.

Ballroom Entry Tunnel: Inside THEME: Cultural History The inside of the tunnel leading to the ballroom’s theme will be the cultural history of Australia the area will include some of the most amazing performers to come out of Australia among. This is a good way to get people reminiscing about some of the greatest moments in Australia’s history. This area will be a black cloth tunnel with LED’s behind. This set up will help the posters on the inside stand out better.

Staging Design THEME: Sydney Opera House We have decided to do the staging in the theme of one of the most iconic Australian landmarks : The Sydney Opera House. The stage would have a screen in the middle and the sides of the staging design would be in the style of the Opera House roof. To enhance the feel of being at the opera house we have suggested that the podium be set up to look like a Sydney ferry, with the MC dressed as ferry masters.

Table Decorations

Fundraising Games Sticky Frog Target Game A target board with different sized targets will be set up and the object of the game is to throw sticky frogs, the smaller the target you hit the more points you score. Kangaroo Cruise In this challenge, teams try to cover as much ground as possible in a single jump. To get the game under way, the first guest of each team jumps from the starting line without taking a running start. The next guest jumps from the spot where his teammate landed, and so on, until everyone has had a turn. The team that advances the farthest wins! The Reptilian and Sea Critter Roundup The guests would have to search through a sand box and/or giant fishbowl full of jelly to seek a prize. This game would be fun for everyone and give them an excuse to get their hands dirty.

Fundraising Games AFL on WII

Fundraising Games Wheel of Fortune The concept is similar to the ‘Wheel of Fortune’ but instead of dollar on the wheel, it will be different Australian icons/landmarks as prize categories
