In Australian culture Sports Carnival s are held to perform competitions in the individual or team disciplines like athletics, swimming or Surf Life Saving . Teams from different clubs or schools gather together for both individual point-score and team score. Often, the carnival is opened by a parade with the teams marching in uniforms and flags over the field of competition. SURF CARNIVAL Surf Life Saving Club s in Australia train their Nippers and young Life Savers for competitions in ''surf carnivals''. Local, regionall, state and nation wide competitions are held across the country.
