The Australian festival season has returned, and to help you make the most of it, we’ve compiled a list of the greatest events you shouldn’t miss.
One of the craziest events in Australia is the Henley on Todd Regatta, which takes place on August 19 in Northern Territory. It’s a boat regatta, but it’s taking place in the middle of a dry, dusty riverbank. The competitors compete in a race through the dry riverbed in bottomless boats.
