Channel 7&#8217;s Sunrise crew joined us on Tues 17th February 2026 for a morning of live broadcasts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The event celebrated Healthways&#8217; 65th Birthday this year, and being the OLDEST bowling alley in Australia!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The atmosphere was electric, the energy was amazing, and we had such a great time being part of the show.&nbsp;&nbsp;A huge thank you to everyone who came along bright and early to be part of the action \u2013 you were absolutely wonderful! Your enthusiasm, smiles, and energy made it such a fun and memorable experience for everyone involved.&nbsp; There were almost 100 people who came along over the course of the morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sam Mac was an absolute legend to work with. His energy was infectious and he made everyone feel so comfortable on camera. We were also joined by Luke Daly, CEO Australian Swim School Association. Luke flew down from Brisbane especially to celebrate 65years of Healthways Community Initiatives too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Check out the behind-the-scenes photos below that capture all the fun and excitement!&nbsp; And the videos of the live crosses.&nbsp; There were 7 live crosses on the day, showcasing the amazing community we have here at Healthways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2
