Big Freeze 11: High-profile athletes and personalities take plunge to fight Motor Neurone Disease
Big Freeze 11 has gone off without a hitch as some of Australia's highest-profile athletes and personalities took the plunge in honour of AFL champion Neale Daniher and fighting Motor Neurone Disease.
The rain finally held off in Melbourne ahead of the King's Birthday clash between Melbourne and Collingwood as the plungers dressed as Aussie icons to get the day off to an emotional start.
Olympic champion Ariarne Titmus was the first to test the water, rocking an Olivia Newton-John in Grease ensemble.
Cadel Evans was almost unrecognisable as he did his best to emulate Melbourne big man Max Gawn, the beard and bald cap staying on as he held the board all the way into the water.
Channel 7 Sunrise host and former Olympic runner Matt Shirvington did his best to represent Chris Hemsworth in his iconic Marvel role of Thor but wasn't provided the suit with in-built muscles.
Peter Daicos lifted a roar from the crowd, the Collingwood legend honouring Heath Ledger by going down the slide as the Joker.
Actor Matt Nable braved the cold in shorts to bring AC/DC to life as guitarist Angus Young, his tie never losing its shape, while Australian Diamonds captain Liz Watson channelled Margo Robbie in her Barbie pink and felt the shock of the ice as she plunged into the water.
Australian cricket captain Alyssa Healy has performed alongside Katy Perry at the MCG but had the fans in stitches, dressed as Magda Szubanski in a neck brace playing netball in Kath and Kim.
She even got a Shane Warne reference in after his iconic cameo on the show, messing up her lipstick as if they had been kissing behind the scenes.
Demons favourite Aaron Davey represented icon, Michael Long, before V8 Supercars legend Craig Lowndes donned black leather as Mel Gibson in Mad Max.
Australian opening batter and commentator Mark Taylor rounded out the slide, spearheaded by Daniher more than a decade ago, tributing his great mate Warne batting at No.10.
He even wore full spikes to go with the white floppy and wristband.

Locals want to sink bid for new Olympic whitewater site
A plan to build a Brisbane 2032 whitewater venue has been rejected by an angry community amid calls for an Olympic drawcard to be held interstate. The proposed Redland Whitewater Centre east of Brisbane is set to host canoe slalom in 2032 after the Queensland government rejected a recommendation to hold the event in NSW. It looms as a major Brisbane Games attraction with champion sisters Jessica and Noemie Fox not ruling out vying for 2032 Olympic gold. But locals believe they have drawn "the short straw" in a long-awaited 2032 plan, calling for canoe slalom to be hosted at 2000 Games venue Penrith, NSW. "It has been forced upon the people of the Redlands city, we never asked for it," Birkdale Progress Association's treasurer Ross Spence told a Queensland parliamentary committee hearing on Monday. The Redlands appeared to be one of the big winners of the 2032 venue plan that was finally unveiled by the Queensland government in March, more than 1300 days after Brisbane was named host city for the Games. The whitewater site proposed at Birkdale features 8000 temporary seats and an integrated warm-up channel, providing Australia a much-needed world class canoe slalom venue. But locals are outraged, citing financial and environmental concerns. A community spokesman said the "damn" whitewater facility should be hosted by Penrith where it was "wanted", citing the Los Angeles 2028 Games. At the LA Games, canoe slalom will be hosted about 3000km away in Oklahoma - almost triple the distance from Brisbane to Penrith. "Not even the Americans are going to put a new whitewater facility in," Redlands2030 Inc president Steven MacDonald told the committee hearing. "We could follow the example of our American cousins and move the damn thing somewhere where it's wanted." A senate inquiry recommended Penrith as the "first and only choice" for a 2032 whitewater venue, raising concerns a Redlands venue may become a "white elephant". The Queensland government rejected the concerns, opting to hold every 2032 Olympic event in the state. Mr Spence feared a Redlands whitewater facility would become an ongoing financial burden after the Games, questioning its viability. "A whitewater stadium is the short straw of Olympic venues," he said. Mr Spence was addressing committee hearings to allow consultation on a bill giving the Games infrastructure authority power to override 15 planning laws, including environmental protection and heritage acts. The laws will ensure Olympic venue construction is not delayed by potential legal challenges, with the final planning sign-off given to the state government, not local councils. Locals also raised environmental concerns on Monday, saying the proposed Birkdale site was next to two state heritage-listed sites and bushland home to endangered wildlife, including koalas. They feared Olympic construction not subject to planning laws might destroy the heritage sites and impact healthy koala colonies. "By setting aside these laws and protections, the state government is choosing to deny democracy and the rights of communities everywhere to have a voice," Mr Spence said. The proposed Redlands site will be only the second world-class whitewater facility built in Australia after the Penrith venue was constructed for Sydney 2000, becoming the Fox sisters' home course. Peak body Paddle Australia was ecstatic about the plan, with CEO Kim Crane hoping locals would embrace the facility and help build competitor depth. "We have been craving an additional course. We have been punching above our weight with one," Ms Crane told AAP in March. "We will now be able to secure more international events - it's a real legacy."

Brumbies ace credits Wallabies legend for Super charge
Noah Lolesio has credited his coach Stephen Larkham - widely considered the greatest Wallabies flyhalf - for giving him the tools to steer the Brumbies into their fourth successive Super Rugby Pacific semi-final. The Brumbies will travel to Hamilton for a semi-final clash with the Chiefs, who topped the ladder but suffered a shock qualifying final loss to the Blues. No Australian side has ever won a knock-out game in New Zealand in the almost 30-year history of Super Rugby and the Brumbies' last three seasons have ended in semi-final defeats across the ditch. Despite this record Lolesio said the Brumbies wouldn't be shifting far from the game plan that helped to dispatch the Hurricanes 35-28 in their qualifying final in Canberra. "The Blues play a bit different to how we play but if anything, it just shows that if you show up physically with the right mindset you put yourself in a good position to win, so that's where our heads are at as a team," Lolesio said on Monday in Canberra. "Nothing really changes for us in how we play our game right now; we know our game works and it's very effective and efficient so we just have to back our systems in place and game plan. "If everyone just does their job to the best of their ability, hopefully we put ourselves in a good position to get a good result." Lolesi played a composed game at No.10, pulling the right strings as his team mixed up their attack between forward play and using their sizzling pace out wide. Dependent on the result, Saturday's match could be the 25-year-old's last in Brumbies colours, with Lolesio taking his playing career to Japan. "I'm giving everything into this game this weekend, knowing that potentially it could be my last," he said. "I'm not going to leave any stone unturned ... not just for myself, but for this special organisation that have been so good to me ever since I came to Canberra as a 17-year-old." With 23 caps, the Test flyhalf was first coached by Dan McKellar before Larkham took over at the ACT side in 2022. While he may not have the natural talent of Larkham, who helped Australia fill its trophy cabinet including the 1999 World Cup, Lolesio said he'd grown as a player under "Bernie". "He's been awesome, ever since he arrived, he's just always been telling me to back whatever I see on the field," Lolesio said. "Just simple cues and triggers on how to manipulate the defence with quick ball or slow ball. "I've been really enjoying my time, especially the one-on-one chats with Bernie just on how I can develop my game as a 10 and help the team around as well. "I think if you look at my game from when I first debuted to where my game's at now, I think I've taken huge strides as more just a game manager than anything else. "I take serious pride in leading the team around the best I can, doing the best for the team, so having Bernie there at the same time, it helps massively."
