Dunking, Laser Tagging & Camo Course
Yarrabilba families had an afternoon of fun, food, and music at Balls & Beats, on Saturday 16th October. The event, at McKinnon Sports Park, was organised by Rekon Youth Organisation. Activities included live music, a 40-metre camo course, laser tag, a dunk tank, and jumping castles.
