Olympic fever comes to Tangalooma:

To celebrate the recent Winter Olympics and Paralympic games in Italy, the Brisbane Olympic Committee popped in with Australian trampoline gymnast and Olympic silver medalist, Ji Wallace and Australian Paralympic track cyclist and gold medalist Korey Boddington for an epic sand tobogganing race in the Tangalooma Desert. Just like a skeleton race, but on sand!

We can’t wait for 2032 Olympics in Brisbane. Bring it on!
