The 2019 Darwin Lions Beer Can Regatta is an annual event not to be missed!

This  iconic annual family fun event of Darwin  was established in 1974 and  is an event for all to use your imagination to design a vessel from  cans as well as  plastic bottle or milk carton as long as it floats;

There is plenty of activities for the kids and a fun day out at the beautiful Mindil beach.

The day includes sandcastle competitions, running races, thong throwing competitions, kayaking races, team events, and of course the big finale event ‘The Battle of Mindil’

Make sure you have a look at our photo galleries to see the previous year’s fun!
