Racing @ Nitmiluk

Amateur dragon boat races were held @ Nitmiluk National Park as part of the Flying Fox Festival. Teams adopted a theme and dressed the part so there were teachers as academics, health workers with furry-balled hats and "Monsters Inc". The U.S. Marines also turned up (real ones) but couldn't be considered for the final races due to having no female paddlers.
