Northern Territory Outback Games

The Northern Territory is looking for competitors to participate in the NT Outback Games, a national contest where Aussies will be put through a series of unique challenges to prove their state has what it takes to beat Territorians at their own game.

If your thongs are in good nick, you're not afraid of crocs, have an uncanny ability to control camels, or can tear up the sand with your soccer skills, then test yourself against the locals at the NT Games.

The four events featured in the new videos will provide the basis for the NT Outback Games are:

- Camel Equestrian - Inspired by the camel trains around Alice Springs in the Red Centre, this twist on classic equestrian events challenges a camel jockey's control over a stubborn and uncontrollable beast.

sandbarsoccer

- Sandbar Soccer - Set against the rolling tides of Darwin's Harbour, the sandbar soccer tournament will take place with a backdrop of the luminescent setting sun, in a bid to score the winning goal before the tide knocks competitors off their feet.

thongmarathon

- Thong Marathon - Running is easy. Running in thongs is not. This Tennant Creek tradition requires the runner to master the balance between the flip and the flop. Carefully guarding against a blow-out, runners will compete for the title of the fastest man/woman on rubber.

- Waterhole Swimming - Forget training. What's more motivating for a fast time than the threat of a three metre croc bearing down on you as you go through the paces of the 50 metre freestyle? We'll see which one of our competitors delivers when the pressure is on.

Official sponsor of the NT Outback Games, Territory Discoveries are providing short break deals for the Top End and Red Centre, which also feature on the Facebook App, so that fans of the Games can support their fellow compatriots in September.
