Lactalis is proud to support the Darwin Lions Beer Can Regatta - a uniquely Territorian event - with Pauls Iced Coffee returning as a Gold Sponsor of the Darwin Lions Beer Can Regatta for the seventh year running. 🦁🚣
What began in 1974 as a clean-up initiative featuring 63 homemade boats and around 22,000 spectators (around half Darwin's population at the time) has grown into one of Australia’s most iconic backyard regattas. Thousands gather each year to watch homemade boats—crafted from cans, bottles, and cartons—compete in races like Best Beer Can Boat, Best Novelty Boat, and the Battle for Mindil. Onshore, spectators enjoy thong throwing, sandcastle building, and ironman races.
This event brings the community together in support of local causes, with funds raised supporting local charities and community groups, while the event itself boosts tourism, supports small businesses, and celebrates Territory culture.
A big thank you to our team at Mindil Beach who once again launched Pauls pontoon, built right here in Darwin. Packed with merch and plenty of locally made milk and juice - including the iconic Territory’s Own Iced Coffee - it was all about good vibes and giving back to the community. 🥛
