They are from Mt Helena. Welcome to Parliament. Can the minister tell us about next week’s Anaconda Adventure Race in the South West? I believe it is amongst the biggest in the world. Can the minister give the house a bit of detail on what is going to occur? Dr K.D. HAMES

Thank you, Mr Speaker. In fact, I am hoping that you might be able to get in the Anaconda Adventure Race and compete on behalf of our side of Parliament. It is a fantastic event, and it is just going from strength to strength each year. I am really proud that through Eventscorp we are able to provide significant funding support for that event. It is the world’s biggest adventure race. I do not know how they work that out, but that is what they tell me. It is not being broadcast worldwide. There are teams — Several members interjected. The SPEAKER : Perhaps some of you may like to go in the race. I am not so sure. Dr K.D. HAMES : The event is a 1.9-kilometre ocean swim, a 12.6-kilometre run, a 13-kilometre inlet and ocean paddle and a 32-kilometre mountain bike ride. What an enormous event to have to compete in! In that event we have 1 700 competitors. It is absolutely amazing. As I say, the numbers are going up year after year as that event becomes more famous and more popular. We also have a junior event for kids from just five years old up to the age of 13. It is called the Anaconda Junior Survivor, and 600 kids from that age group are participating. It is a fantastic event. It is held among the extraordinary scenery down around the ocean in the Augusta region. It is an absolutely fantastic event. I think it is in the electorate of the Minister for Agriculture and Food. Mr D.T. Redman : Yes, it is. Dr K.D. HAMES : I do not know whether the minister is competing. The minister can welcome people at the end. It is a fantastic event. It is a bit like what we in Tourism WA are about now. This event has been going for a while. We are trying to promote a large number of events like this, with the additional $60 million through royalties for regions funding over the next four years, to make sure that all Western Australia becomes a very exciting place for locals, visitors and the world to come and see. It is a fantastic event.
