This Wednesday night the Socceroos will take on Honduras for the final place at next years FIFA World Cup in Russia, and SWR Triple 9 will bring you the most comprehensive coverage of the big game live from ANZ Stadium!

But it doesn't stop at just the game itself....

Wednesday we're celebrating all things Socceroos and Australian as we fiddle around with the music playlist and hit the "All Aussie Button" 
Nothing but the best Australian music all day this Wednesday while you work, so keep it tuned into 99.9FM as we roll out Aussie classic after Aussie classic.

Then from 6pm join Julian Daw, Scott Jackson and Will Gotsis live from ANZ Stadium as they bring you every moment, every shot, every save, every goal of the final leg of the World Cup playoff. After the 0-0 draw in Honduras on Saturday a win for the Socceroos puts them into the World Cup, anything else we don't want to think about.
After the game the boys will have a full breakdown of where the game was won or lost until 11pm when we crank out the best Aussie songs of all time through to midnight as we hopefully celebrate a Socceroos win.

The home of the Socceroos this Wednesday is SWR TRIPLE 9 Sydney's West as the West joins the rest of Australia to say GO YOU SOCCEROOS! 

Fairfield City Museum & Gallery will soon host a fantastic feast that showcases some of the best international cuisines that can be found in Fairfield City.
 
Food & Fusion 3.0 will be held on Saturday 28 October in the grounds of Fairfield City Museum & Gallery, where guests will be treated to great food and wine tasting.
 
Mayor of Fairfield City Frank Carbone said Food & Fusion 3.0 would celebrate the City’s diversity through food.
 
“Food & Fusion 3.0 allows members of the community to come together as we showcase delicious international cuisines and celebrate our City’s passion for food and dining during Good Food Month,” Mayor Carbone said.
 
“Our City’s diversity and history of migration has meant the food scene has thrived in Fairfield City and we have become the envy of other local government areas.” 
 
Event guests will be immersed into history, starting with a guided tour of the Vintage Village, plus enjoy tea in a billy and freshly baked damper with locally produced honey.
 
This will be followed by a cross-cultural feast in the picturesque Vintage Village, which will include Lao and Thai entrées, fresh pasta and a delicious gelato dessert.
