To kick off the Easter long week-end celebrations at the Sydney Fish Markets, the channel 9 Today Show sent along their weather-man, Steve Jacobs... and when asked why "we" were there too... the answer was simple: the Sydney Fish Market (SFM) proudly sponsors the ACCA Dragon Boat Racing
Team!
Every now and again the ACCA Dragon Boat Racing Team will host an open day on the SFM Pontoon
Wharf... keep your eyes peeled for future dates and come down to meet the team and learn about the history and heritage of this
exciting sport.
