1970's 12th Vintage ALICE SPRINGS HENRY ON THE TODD REGATTA Race wood sign 3 dimensional! This is race that happens in Alice Springs, Australia. It is a board painted blue with black/green and pink. It has 3- 3D guys made out of some kind of composite or clay. They are in tubs, in a running on water motion. Very fun! It says: BOWSER BLOKES and WOWSERS ALIKE Announcing the 12th Annual ALICE SPRINGS HENLEY-ON-THE-TODD REGGATA Sign up at the ice cream parlor All fair judge Dinkum- No Bullsh. History Reg Smith at the Alice Springs Meteorological Bureau proposed an actual regatta along the lines of the famous Henley Royal Regatta in 1962. The idea was taken up by the Rotary club of Alice Springs, and despite the fact that the town was 1,500 kilometres (930 mi) from the nearest large body of water this was never seen as a problem. Watching seemingly sane people race in bottomless "eights", "Oxford tubs", "bath tubs" and yachts through the deep coarse sand of the Todd River is a unique spectacle amongst world sporting events and attracts many local and international participants. The Henley-On-Todd Regatta is run entirely on a volunteer basis by three Rotary Clubs based in 'the Alice'. It could use a good detailed cleaning. Very cool old sign! Measures: Approx. 24" x 36" Flaws: Some scratches and paint loss due to age. Could use a good cleaning! Most of the items we sell, come from unknown environments of previous owners.
