These work boats became sailing vessels participating in the Annual Mungo Brush Regatta which commenced as a ‘’grudge match’’ between rival hauling teams of fishermen. The regatta developed into a huge social gathering with some families staying on the lake for extended periods of time. It was not uncommon to have 1000 people attending to enjoy the boat racing, merry-go-rounds and side shows. It was an occasion for people to dress in their best clothes.
