Henley on Todd
Be a part of the chaos at this unique Northern Territory event, when the dry, sandy bed of the Todd River becomes the race track for a crew of Flintstone-style boats, propelled towards the finish line by the sheer will and might of their creators. Head to Alice Springs in August and watch from the sidelines, or create your own craft and join the contest. Whichever you choose, you’ll have fun.
