The Todd River may generally be dry, but this doesn’t stop the locals from holding a sailing regatta each year.  Running through the sandy river bed in bottomless boats, your delegates will turn into Vikings and pirates and leave their inhibitions in the dust!  If you’re not in town for the annual affair, re-create your own Henley on Todd experience.

Fine dining in the Nocturnal House surrounded by the creatures of the desert night, cocktail functions surrounded by wildflowers with the stunning MacDonnell Ranges as your back drop or Desert Art Food Fairs that combine food and beverage stalls with traditional indigenous artists displaying their art, the options at the Alice Springs Desert Park are varied and appealing.

Travel out of town on a red dirt road to Ooraminna Homestead on Deep Well Cattle Station.  The rocky outcrops surrounding the Old Pub built 1920s style as part of the set for the Australian film The Drover’s Boy glow red as the sun sets. Learn about life on a cattle station as you dine outdoors under the clear Centralian night sky and take in the warm country hospitality of Jan and Bill Hayes.  It all makes for an outback event that will have everyone talking.

Experience the Alice Springs of old at the Telegraph Station. Established in 1872, the historic buildings make a great backdrop to a period dinner. Feature a historic menu with damper for entrée and scones for dessert and fire up the blacksmiths workshop to add to the theme.

Take in the stunning rock formations as they ignite in a burst of colour with the setting sun, surrounding your secluded barbecue site. The Tailormade team will offer a night of Australian entertainment, with damper making, a bush balladeer, boomerang throwing and cattle industry talk.  Your guests will be singing along to favourite Australian tunes.
