If you’re looking for something unusual to do next January, how about a tuna festival in Port Lincoln, Australia? Between January 24th and 26th, the Tunarama Festival will be celebrating the tuna fish with stalls, sideshows and rides. The main event of the festival is the John West Tuna Toss where members of the public are invited to see how far they can throw a tuna which weighs between 8 and 10 kilos. Participants come from all over the world to have the chance to win AU$7,000 (£3,000) for the longest throw. The current record holder is Sean Carlin, ex-Olympic hammer thrower, who managed a throw of 37.23 metres in 1998. The event is planned around Australia Day every year, so there’s double the reason to celebrate!
