Explore the Victorian goldrush at Sovereign Hill, you might be lucky and strike gold

Visit the home of the fairy penguins and seals at Phillip Island

You could surf, cave, help sick animals or visit a zoo

Swim, try clowning and juggling, learn crafts or challenge yourself on the ropes course

Meet Pippa

Pippa Penguin

Introducing the amazing Pippa Penquin, our mascot for ACE. You can see her on the ACE logo and she will appear on all things connected with ACE. You will have plenty of chances to meet her at Britannia Park, 2010. Now is the time to start planning - applications haven't opened yet but you can start saving, to help you, Pippa has put together a few ideas.

Pippa's fundraising ideas

Use me as a theme -

What about lots of Penguin activities - It's really cool playing games with lots of friends?

Why not have a Penguin theme night at Guides?

I love singing and dancing - what about a talent show?

How about a Quiz night with of course - Penguin questions. Did you know all Penguin species are native to the southern hemisphere?

Start dreaming and thinking about me and my Penguin friends.
