Why In 1974 Cyclone Tracy hit Darwin on Christmas Eve. The beer can Regatta was created to recycle and help the region recover. Apparently the workmen putting Darwin back together drank copious amounts of beer due to the heat and threw the cans into the street. The original Regatta of 1975 was created to get rid of these cans. All proceeds go to the local Lions Club. Darwin-Beer-Regatta
