Southern 80

Over the weekend, we watched uncle Dan race in the Southern 80 on the Murray River.

The Southern 80 is a 80 km long ski race. Uncle Dan towed two 10-year-old girls in the Southern 80, it took them about an hour and a half to finish the race.

Some of the other boats were averaging 160 km/h, and they finish the race in around 30 to 35 minutes. Some of the boats even had twin turbo V8 Motors on them. The record for the southern 80 is 29 minutes.

My favourite part of the Southern 80 was watching uncle Dan and having campfires on the Murray River.Læs mere
