The Henley on Todd Regatta is the world's only dry river boating event!

Held in Alice Springs, Australia every year, participants take part in Flintstone-style 'boat' races on the sandy Todd River bed.

Giant hamster wheel races, sand shoveling races, sand ski challenges, the budgie smuggler dash and the spectacular "Battle of the Gun Boats" fight round out the day. More fun than a river boat race should be!
