Looking for a fun afternoon? Why not join hosts and organisers Camilla and Sharon for a bit of light-hearted entertainment in one of Dubbo’s most iconic locations, all while supporting the worthwhile local cancer charity, Pink Angels!

On Sunday, July 28, Dubbo will join an international flash mob to recreate Kate Bush’s music video ‘Wuthering Heights’.

This fun fundraiser will begin at the Old Dubbo Gaol with doors opening at 2pm. Participants can add names to the Wall of Love in honour of those no longer dancing with us, and practice their moves with Dr Mary Nushaj.

Dr Nushaj is a doctor in oncology at the Dubbo Cancer Centre, and will also be the lead performer for the Wuthering Heights!

Organisers Camilla and Sharon explained this 'origin story' to Dubbo Photo News.

“Dr Mary is Dubbo's favourite dancing doctor as not only did she lead Dubbo's Most Wuthering Heights Day last year, and was a Dubbo's Got Talent entrant, but she is also a professionally trained dancer – what is not to love about that?” the duo said.

The Wuthering Heights dance will officially begin at 3pm. Participants are encouraged to wear red and join in as the famous Kate Bush.

Event hosts Camilla and Sharon, also affectionately known as 'Cam and Shaz', are both locals who know the impact of having access to good cancer support.

In 2022, after having lost another loved one to cancer, they decided to do an annual community fundraiser. Sharon is the founder of Social Gain – an enterprise delivering fun community projects for positive change.

Camilla is a long-time community arts educator and a strong advocate for the Dubbo region; she is currently involved in running the Sing Out all-inclusive dementia-friendly choir.

The Dubbo community will join locations across the world to celebrate ‘The Most Wuthering Heights Day Ever’ event, where participants recreate the music video for musician Kate Bush's 1978 song "Wuthering Heights".

The event's inspiration is The Ultimate Kate Bush Experience which took place in 2013 in Brighton, United Kingdom, as part of Brighton Fringe. It was created by performance collective Shambush! who attempted to set an unofficial world record for the most people dressed as Kate Bush in one place, with hundreds attending.

The event is traditionally held worldwide around Kate Bush’s birthday.

Tickets for the Dubbo event are available for $20 through https://events.humanitix.com/most-wuthering-heights-day-dubbo

It is being proudly backed by the Old Dubbo Gaol and Dubbo Regional Council and is an all ages and abilities event.
