Ever found yourself wondering how far you might be able to throw a 10kg rubber fish? OrĀ wondering if you’d be able to slide 10 meters along a slippery pole without falling off?Ā 

Or maybe you just want to taste some of the freshest seafood that Australia has to offer?Ā Then you need to attend the Port Lincoln Tunarama Festival.Ā 

image

Tunarama Festival is an event that features a wide array of participation events, arts, and cultural displays, local market stalls, plus some of the freshest seafood in the world, there truly is something for the whole family to enjoy.

Traditionally, locals would gather on theĀ Port LincolnĀ foreshore to help send off loved ones in fishing vessels that would head out to sea for months at a time.Ā 

A local priest would ā€˜bless’ the ships and everyone would hope for their safe return. In 1962, this annual gathering turned into a seaside celebration to attract tourists.Ā 

Now in its 58th year, the Tunarama Festival brings together people of all ages to celebrate the fishing industry that forms the backbone of this small town. Held over the Australia Day long weekend, the festival showcases the best of the local produce, crafts, and talent.

image

Arguably, the most iconic event held across the weekend is the World Championship Tuna Toss. From laborious task to iconic event, the World Championship Tuna Toss has become a much-loved event by all who visit the Tunarama Festival.Ā

Started in 1979, the idea came from a simple observation that the primary method of unloading overflowing fishing vessels was a manual and physically demanding task.Ā 

From the decks of boats, men would haul these mighty fish up onto the waiting trucks, testing their strength with every toss.

image

This soon became less about the day’s work and more about the pride and bragging rights that came with being the best thrower on any given day. The boys would boast afterward, seeing how many days work they gained over the busy period and how far they launched their fish.

image

The idea was further developed and the very first tuna toss was held in 1979. Hundreds of men lined up to see how far they could through the heavy fish.

After watching some of the biggest local fishermen take their turns, a local teacher (and ex hammer-thrower) stepped up to the plate. To most people’s disbelief, he threw the fishway beyond where it had been thrown previously. Shocked and outdone, many men vowed to better their skills and return the next year for another attempt.

image

Now including both genders, and featuring a rubber tuna, the event has become world-renowned. Competitors travel from all over the world to see how far they can throw this mighty fish. The current world record is 37.23m and was set in 1998 by an Australian hammer thrower, Sean Carlin. The female recordĀ is 21.25m, set by Brooke Krueger.

image

Prizes are always been awarded for Best Clown, Best Decorated Business Float, Best Community Float, Best Live Music Float, and Most Humorous Entry.Ā 

image

Good luck making not sinking! Make your way along a 5-meter pole and back without falling off into the water. Of course, the pole wobbles, rotates, and is kept seriously greased and slippery. Makes for very entertaining viewing.Ā 

image

If none of those options tickles your fancy, there are a range of other competitions including the Surf Beach Bod Comp, Commando Course, Prawn Peeling, Best Dressed Boat, Keg Roll, Swim through, Tug-’O’-War and plenty more.
