Enjoy the hilarity of the Alice Springs Henley on Todd Regatta, as participants race “boats” down a dry river bed on Saturday 20 August. This year marks the celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of the fund-raiser event, and is a great way to see the township of Alice Springs in full flight. Special holiday deals priced from $318 pp twin share offer 3 nights accommodation and car hire with unlimited kilometres. This is the perfect excuse for you to visit the Red Centre, experiencing all the beauty and uniqueness Alice Springs has to offer!

Other quirky Central Australia events include the Alice Springs Beanie Festival from 24-27 June, the Alice Springs Show over 1-2 July, the famous Camel Cup on 9 July and the Desert Mob Festival from 9 September to 23 October.

Meanwhile, escape the blues of the winter months by visiting the tropical Top End for events including the Darwin Cup Carnival during July. The perfect, unwavering temperatures during the winter months, fantastic cuisine and relaxed atmosphere all contribute to the attraction of the Top End. A crowd favourite is the Darwin Beer Can Regatta as locals and visitors alike line up along Mindil Beach, cheering on the home made boats of beer cans and household items as they wallow, flounder and sink. Held on 10 July, a 4 day getaway priced from $492pp twin-share includes three nights accommodation, Crocosaurus Cove entry and a sunset cruise on Darwin Harbour.
