THAI RESCUE SPECIAL PRESENTATION - 5:30pm Saturday 16th
- Richard Harris and Craig Challen
In June / July 2018, a widely publicised cave rescue successfully extracted members of a junior football team trapped in Tham Luang Nang Non cave in the Thai province of Chiang Rai.
Australians of the Year Richard Harris & Craig Challen will deliver a special joint presentation on the events that unfolded during the rescue. See full details.
Important: We will be presenting the Thai Cave Rescue Presentation in all three theatres with Richard Harris & Craig Challen on stage in the Gombessa Theatre. The presentation will be simulcast to the theatres on either side and each theatre will play the same presentation. Richard and Craig will be in the exhibition hall before and after the presentation.
Gold and Silver passes are guaranteed seats in the Gombessa Theatre. Everyone else will be allocated on a first-come-first-served basis.
The talk will be played in all three theatres.
Depending on the level of interest, we may expand the size of the Gombessa Theatre. To ensure you are in the Gombessa Theatre, OZTek recommends a silver or gold pass for guaranteed seating.
