Day 2 began with a short 10 mins trip to Darwin Wave Lagoon to familarise ourselves with the area for both the mixed rescue tube rescue and surf swim events. It is a man-made wave lagoon that can create different types of waves. It was tiring as the athletes needed more energy to conquer the waves while swimming. We arrived back at the lodge at approximately 2pm and took a 2 hour rest before proceeding to the opening ceremony of Arafura games. We reached the stadium around 4.30pm and waited quite awhile before the commencement of the march past. There were a few performances which included the lighting the torch of the games. The opening ceremony ended with fireworks and our day was thus concluded.
