History

Across the Waves FC was established in 1958. The original club was solely utilised for social gatherings around bocce and soccer by early immigrant Italian farmers of Bundaberg and was so named 'Across The Waves', for that was how they travelled to Australia aboard the Angelina Lauro - across the waves of the Indian Ocean. Today, the club operates as a sub-club of Across the Waves Group Limited, a non-for-profit sporting organisation with over 85,000 members and clubs in Bundaberg, Caloundra and Elliot Heads.
