Australia's most prestigious highland dancing event. Bringing together Highland Dancers from across the globe as part of the Tartan Spectacular.

The Australian Board of Highland Dancing Inc has entrusted the successful conduct of the 2010 Championship to the South Queensland Regional Committee of Highland Dancing Inc. The last time this event was staged by our committee (in the year 2000), 682 dancers travelled to Brisbane to compete in the dancing programme.

A panel of twelve judges is in the process of being finalised, with two judges from Scotland already accepting an invitation to travel to Australia, and another from the United States of America. The balance of the panel will comprise of judges from Queensland, New South Wales, Western Australia, the Australian Capital Territory, Victoria and South Australia. Rotating panels of three will adjudicate each dance of the Championships.

South Queensland Regional Committee is working actively with Caloundra Tourism in promoting the forthcoming Championships. The event will appear in the local 2009 tourism guide. Over the months it is also intended to promote the tradition and excitement of Highland Dance in the  Sunshine Coast area by supporting community events wherever possible.
