The Henley-on-Todd Regatta in Alice Springs, Australia, is one of the most unique and eccentric events in the world. Unlike any other boat race, this regatta takes place on the dry riverbed of the Todd River. Without a drop of water in sight, teams race in bottomless boats, running across the sand in a celebration that mixes humor, creativity, and a healthy dose of the absurd. This event has captured the hearts of locals and tourists alike, becoming a must-see spectacle in the heart of the Australian Outback.

The Melbourne Cup, often referred to as “the race that stops a nation,” is an iconic event in Australia that captures the attention of millions each year. Held on the first Tuesday of November, this horse race has become a significant part of Australian culture, attracting a diverse audience from casual spectators to dedicated horse racing enthusiasts. With a rich history dating back to the 19th century, the Melbourne Cup has evolved into more than just a sporting event—it’s a celebration of fashion, culture, and national pride.
