Alice Springs, that’s where they race boats with no bottoms down a dry riverbed right?

The Todd river boat races.

Both of these pictures were taken about 30 years ago. The first one was the Todd river camel race that happens the same time the boat race happens.

The second one was taken when there is water (usually once a year) in the river...for some reason, the aborigines always know when the rain is coming, everyone else know because they saw them moving.

Yep - the Henley-On-Todd Regatta.
