And, of course, there will be the Twisted Events Guinness World Record attempt for The Largest Twister Mat, measuring nearly 30m x 10m!

All proceeds raised by the event will be donated to The Matthew Stanley Foundation for educating young people and their parents about youth violence, in close cooperation with the Queensland Police and the community.
