Dragon Boat racing moves to the beautiful location of 1770 where Round 4 of the Wide Bay Series Dragon Boat Regatta will be conducted on Saturday.

Teams from Cooloola, Hervey Bay, Bundaberg and Burnett River will join their 1770 Dragons counterparts in hotly contested racing.

The crew from 1770 have been the benchmark for several years although Bundaberg has been providing stiff opposition in recent regattas and both teams have been fighting out some tight finishes.

The final round in the five regatta series will be held on the Burnett River at Sandy Hook on Sunday, August 25 with the first Dragon Boat race commencing at 9am.

The event will be hosted by the Burnett River Dragons.

Canteen and other refreshments are available and spectators are encouraged to attend to enjoy the Dragon Boat action.
