Search Avalon 2021 is forging ahead despite the pandemic, underpinned by the centenary of the RAAF. (Steve Hitchen) Close× Avalon to go ahead Despite Grand Prix Cancelations 7 July 2021 AMDA Foundation today said they were confident that the Australian International Airshow would go ahead in December as planned. The viability of the event was brought into focus yesterday when the Victorian government canceled two high-profile public events: the Australian Formula One Grand Prix in Melbourne and the Australian Moto GP at Phillip Island. Both were canceled because the government was not prepared to grant concessions to current pandemic laws to enable people to travel to the events from overseas. The chances of the Australian Open tennis going ahead in January have also been questioned.
