MEDIA RELEASE

Viral Wave Washes Out the Alice Springs Rotary Henley on Todd

Organisers of the NT’s most iconic community event wish to advise the cancellation of the 2020 event in support of the NT Government’s decision to lockdown the Territory for 6 months in order to contain the spread of COVID-19.

In its 59 year history, the event has only been cancelled once before, when the river had the audacity to flood. This will be the second time we cancel the event due to a viral wave.

We wish all our supporters and those who had planned to attend the very best in these difficult times and ask everyone to stay safe and follow the advice of the Public Health and Emergency Authorities so that we can celebrate the end of this pandemic and our 60th Anniversary in 2021.

Join In The Fun At The 2021 Rotary Henley On Todd In Alice Springs NT Australia

The Rotary Henley on Todd Regatta is a fun, quirky and eclectic ‘boat’ race held each year on the dry sandy bed of the Todd River in Alice Springs, Australia – it’s the only dry river boating Regatta in the world.

Regatta attendees compete in ‘boat’ races in the style of the Flintstones: holding a lightweight boat frame and running around the buoy and back to the finish line. The finale of the day is known as the Battle of the boats. As one of our past crew members described it “it’s the best water fight I have been in my life!” The 3 motorised boats are each loaded with canons that fire off with plenty of colour, water cannons and water bombs. The winner is decided by you – our crowd!

Regatta attendees are strongly encouraged to join in and participate in the wide variety of events on offer during the Regatta. There are events for everyone including plenty for the kiddies.
