2005 National Youth Week

Warm Autum weather and encouraging crowds marked Youth Week 2005 in Wyong Shire.

This year's celebration coincided with the April school holidays and local youngsters came out in force to support the various events. From its opening at the traditional GOATS youth festival in San Remo, through the inaugural 'Wat-a-Fest' at Watanobbi and the usual actviies at local youth centres, the week proved a hit all around.

Other highlights included the official opening of a new skatepark at Ourimbah; BMX clinics at San Remo's Extreme Sports Park; a road safety workshop at Tumbi Umbi; Youth Week dances; and the ever-popular pool and sporting competitions at the Gravity Youth Centre in Lake Haven.
