Experience the thrill of a day/night match for The 2nd NRMA Insurance Ashes Test at The Gabba in Brisbane, with a cricketing holiday crafted by Black Opal.
Guests on this hosted tour will be accompanied by former cricket stars, including Gladstone Small and David Gower. An exclusive welcome event will set the tone for your stay, while mornings during the Test will be spent enjoying Brisbane or at more Black Opal events. Our signature 'Digest the Test' farewell dinner makes a perfect finale to an unforgettable cricketing experience.
Once the action in Brisbane is concluded, you will have two extension options, both with their own charm. Choose to explore the rough wilderness of Kangaroo Island or hop over to Tasmania. Both extensions conclude with a visit to The Barossa Valley; Southern Australia's renowned wine-producing region located to the northeast of Adelaide
If neither extension suits your tastes or budget, speak to our team about alternative arrangements.
