Termed as Australia?s wackiest and fun filled events, is this boat regatta. Still not sure why this is wacky or what is so different about it?

We are not surprised. This boat regatta is actually not in water but on a dry riverbank and that too in the middle of the country.

The contestants hold boats that are without a bottom race on the riverbed. This is a hilarious sight with people running holding up yachts and bathtubs through the sand.
