This is a “DON’T MISS” event on Sunday 1st April. Location is the Truro Oval which is situated two streets to your left as you enter from the Barossa direction.
Too far to go? It will take you under 55 minutes to get there if you live in the northern suburbs and travel via the Northern Expressway This was how long it takes from Prospect on a weekday. Expect even less travel time for this event on a Sunday morning.
