Is this you, bored at home on a lazy Sunday with not a thing
in hell to do? Some people spend their Sunday’s lying outside, or relaxing out
by the pool. While others chill out at their local westfields, hoping the $5 rack
sale at Supré still stocks those leopard skin tights all the mounty county gals
seem to sport. And then there’s those that use their Sunday’s to go out and do
something a little more unexpected. Like buying a McFlurry with both mnm’s AND
oreos. Oh, you risktaker you. Livin’ life on the edge you are!
But if you’re like me, and you don’t seem to feel the thrill
of sitting under the shade of a Koolabah tree, you’re ready for an adventure
that’ll get some blood rushing through them veins! We’ve found some fun-filled
activities that’ll make you completely forget about Supré’s clearance sale, but
instead turn your stale Sunday 360 degrees complete with no regrets.
Whitewater rafting
Where: Penrith Whitewater Stadium, Cranebrook
Website: http://www.penrithwhitewater.com.au/pages/home.asp
Wanna know what’s a paddlin’? Regarded as one of the wildest
and most beautiful whitewater rivers in Australia, this crazy adventure will get
you totally wet & leave you screaming woooooo-hoooooooooo! With 14,000
liters-per-second of raging whitewater, flowing over a moveable obstacle
system, this rafting experience has proven to be one of the most challenging
and exciting rides for even the best paddlers in the world.
Wakeboarding
Where: Calebs Wake Park, Penrith
Website: http://www.cableswakepark.com.au/
Wtf’s wakeboarding you ask? Think of skiing on water, or
‘skurfing.’ Heqtiqqqqq, bet you thought that never existed! Attached to an
electronic cable ski, you’re propelled to slide over the lake on a board, with
ramps, kickers and sliders to manoeuvre around and have some sick moments of air-time
if you’re down. Hang tight though, I guarantee this activity will definitely
make you feel like you’re living life to the extreme!
Flying trapeze
Where: Circus Arts Sydney, Olympic Park
Website: http://circusarts.com.au/sydney/
I wanna see you be brave! Lol, so challenge yourself today
by taking a high flying trapeze class. Swing way above the Earth and experience
the true thrill of flying, as you learn to master trapeze tricks such as the
knee-hang, the back flip to the net, and the flying catch, just like them crazy
circus acrobats do. It may seem terrifying for all you first-timers, but rest
assured it’s totally safe and you’ll come out of it with your heart beating a
million miles a minute!
Laser Skirmish
Where: Battlefun, Pennant Hills
Website: http://www.battlefun.com/
Lookin’ for an ultimate combat adventure battle that’s both
fun and intense, without actual pain and bruises? Bc we ALL know you bruise
like a peach. At the battlefun laser skirmish outdoor arena, players get kitted
up with army camouflage clothing and are provided with a choice of guns from
the armoury before they set out into the bush and muddy battlefield terrain
with log barriers, cool forts and bunkers. Great excuse to shoot at that one friend
you secretly hate!
V8 Car Racing
Where: Sydney Motor Sport Park, Eastern Creek
Website: http://www.sydneymotorsportpark.com.au/
Strap yourself behind the wheel and drive the fastest you’ve
ever driven, in a powerful 450 hp V8 race car, and feel the excitement and
g-force of performance racing. This challenging circuit delivers a mix of long
straights, tight and tricky corners, rising curves, hills and flats. Be
prepared to take it to the max with a no limit drive often reaching 200 kph!
P.s. I can’t guarantee how thrilling this activity is. All members of the
WestThings crew are still on their L’s so got turned away upon entry LOL
