Dragon Boat Regatta
8am - 3pm Sunday 28 August , New Farm Park
Dragon boating is one of the oldest sports in the world, originating in China over 2,000 years ago. A dragon boat is a long canoe (approximately 12m long) that holds 20 paddlers seated in pairs, a drummer at the front to keep time, and a sweep who stands at the back and steers. For competition, the boat is rigged with a dragon head and tail. The sport has evolved to become one of the world's most competitive and colourful.
