Last year's 50th anniversary of the Henley-on-Todd was a very special event with a great time had by all including us here at AusEmade... The ASSA ABLOY Henley-On-Todd Regatta is one of the most unique boat races in the world — held as it is on the Todd River, the main river through Alice Springs in Central Australia. Indeed, it is the only boat race in the world that has been cancelled due to water.

The sun shone on the 50th Henley-On-Todd Regatta and we were there early to give a helping hand... what a day it was. Ours truly here at AusEmade had great fun, enjoying the frivolity, competitions, battles and friendship. This is the Territory’s longest running iconic event and offers the chance of anyone attending to enter in any one of the the boating inspired races.

So if you are planning to visit our beautiful outback town of Alice Springs in the heart of Central Australia, make sure you book your travel itinerary early and if you use a travel agent, make sure they include the big day in your itinerary.
