MEDIA RELEASE

Viral Wave Washes Out the Alice Springs Rotary Henley on Todd

Organisers of the NT’s most iconic community event wish to advise the cancellation of the 2020 event in support of the NT Government’s decision to lockdown the Territory for 6 months in order to contain the spread of COVID-19.

In its 59 year history, the event has only been cancelled once before, when the river had the audacity to flood. This will be the second time we cancel the event due to a viral wave.

We wish all our supporters and those who had planned to attend the very best in these difficult times and ask everyone to stay safe and follow the advice of the Public Health and Emergency Authorities so that we can celebrate the end of this pandemic and our 60th Anniversary in 2021.
