Let's win Best Dressed Town AGAIN!

Once again we are super excited to participate in the 2025 Tour Down Under Best Dressed Town campaign, and our theme is Connection. the TDU will finish in our town on Thursday 23 January 2025.

We are planning on showcasing CONNECTION through meters and meters and meters of bunting decorating our townships (from Summertown to Uraidla, Carey Gulley and Basket Range to Ashton ).

Bunting symbolises connection, each thread tied together just like our community.

We welcome our whole community to participate and follow our socials (@imagineuraidla) and sign up to our monthly newsletter for updates and decorating ideas www.uraidla.com

Bunting can be made of so many things, get creative. Clothes on a line, plastic bags tied together, scraps of fabric, ribbons, ties or flags. Anything that can be tied and flutters in the wind is a winner.

We want to embrace decorating our town to welcome riders and spectators from around the world and have fun while doing it.

So get crafty and embrace connection.
