Victoria to host AFC Asian Cup in 2015
Victoria is likely to host the opening match of the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Asian Cup in January 2015.
Premier Ted Baillieu said the win was wonderful news for Victorian football fans and the state’s economy.
“Hosting the AFC Asian Cup 2015 also has the potential to open up trade and other business opportunities between Australia and Asia,” Mr Ballieu said.
“It is likely that the 2015 AFC Asian Cup’s opening match, featuring the Qantas Socceroos, will be played at Etihad Stadium.”
The 2015 AFC Asian Cup will attract up to half a million spectators, 45,000 international guests and 4,700 media visitors.
The economic benefits to Australia are expected to be significant, with a PriceWaterhouseCoopers economic impact report estimating that up to 1,000 jobs will be created nationally.

Mulan Acrobatic Show - Melbourne Events

The internationally acclaimed Mulan Acrobatic Show is coming to Australia in 2011. Following a six-month tour of the US, the dazzling show for families will return to Sydney by popular demand in time to celebrate the Chinese New Year. Mulan Acrobatic show is a swift and entertaining two-hour fusion of the famous myths, music, movement, costume, fantasy, danger and playfulness all wrapped up in one. Audiences in the US raved, “to properly describe the act in words is not possible, it has to be seen, but imagine bouncing juggling pins off the floor to each while swiftly passing others through the air at the same time; even juggling pins that are stationary on the feet”.
The visually spectacular show and ideal for families, Mulan features thirty five performers, with the youngest being twelve years old and has made an outstanding breakthrough in acrobatic techniques, with incredible displays of Shadow Puppet Play, Silk Trapeze, Meteriors and Hoop Diving. A team of professional martial arts performers has been incorporated into the show to bring about a unique, high adventure and breathtaking visual experience. Mulan pushes the impossible to the extreme as acrobats dive and throw themselves like human arrows through multiple golden hoops. Performers elegantly and gracefully form their bodies into living sculptures - a challenge of strength and flexibility.
Let your imagination run wild as you immerse in the spectacular legend and relax to sounds of acorns falling to the ground. Don’t miss the unique and refreshing experience this summer. Book Now!
