Homage to Henley in the Outback

Henley-on-Todd
“The Territory’s longest running iconic event!”

The Territory’s longest running iconic event, this is the outback’s answer to Henley-on-Thames! Bottomless handmade boats race down the dried up bed of the Todd River, Flintstone style. Have fun and enjoy the hilarity as you watch seemingly sane people race in bottomless ‘eights’, ‘oxford tubs’, ‘bath tubs’ and ‘yachts’ through the deep coarse sand in outback Alice Springs.
