Australia Day 2008 in Second Life

January 26, 2008 By Lowell Cremorne

An excellent grass-roots effort has been put in by a handful of Australian Second Life residents to ensure Australia Day 2008 goes off in style in-world.

There’s a cricket pitch with plenty of spectator seating, a special Australia Day version of Wolfie Rankin’s Rockit music trivia extravaganza and lots more.

Come dressed in your best whites from 8pm AEDT tonight (Rockit commences at 7pm)

Check it out in-world

Update: Gary Hayes has some great photos of the festivities here

    Rockit was funny, I ended up with five players per team, and during the game two on one side crashed [as one segment required the use of their browser and apparently their computer couldn't handle it].

    But that was ok, we edited it before it went to air. ;)

    Wolfie!
