Held in the picturesque Harts Ranges approximately 200km north-east of Alice Springs over the Picnic Day long-weekend, the Bush Sports will feature gymkhana, bull ride, ute competition, stock horse races, family sports day, lizard races and plenty more. The highlight will be all the fashion and finery of the Harts Range Ball on the Saturday night. It really is a weekend of quintessential outback fun and frolics at its very best!

Old Timers Fete - 11 August 2012
The largest annual fete in Alice Springs, the Old Timers Fete, is a fun filled day with 'on tap' entertainment, second hand book stall, craft stalls, preserves and cakes (as only a mum can make them), food stalls and oodles of bric-a-brac. The day is the major fund-raising event of the Old Timers Village.
Henley-on-Todd Regatta - 18 August 2012
Watching seemingly sane people race in bottomless "eights", "oxford tubs", "bath tubs" and yachts through the deep coarse sand of the Todd River provides an unique spectacle amongst world sporting events. The multi-event program attracts many local and international participants from the audience who often finish up on world TV news paddling canoes with sand shovels and in "land lubber" events like filling empty 44 gallon drums with sand.
