Darwin: The Beer Can Regatta

Our one day in Darwin luckily coincided with the annual "Beer Can Regatta". Boats must be constructed with mostly beer cans, and teams must drink the beers themselves. Just in case you are wondering, no boats were constructed with Fosters, as Australians DO NOT DRINK FOSTERS AT ALL!

Best looking boat. Constructed entirely with XXXX Gold.



Look how it shines in the sun.



The winning design: a canoe!




Many side contests. I signed up for the women's tug of war. My scrappy skinny backpacker team made it to the finals, only to be defeated by the BIG locals.

The adjoining Mindle Beach market. Nice vest!
