Sea Otter has announced a new edition of the popular expo, set for October 1-4, 2021, in Canberra, Australia.
The expo will take place the weekend before the Sea Otter Classic in Monterey, California, and will be the southern hemisphere's first Sea Otter.
Like the other Sea Otters, Sea Otter Australia will include all manner of racing, sneak peaks at new products, riding exhibitions, and more. Sea Otter Australia emphasizes a fun atmosphere with music, food, beer, bike demos, and a focus on riding opportunities.
Sea Otter will be partnering with BikeSA, South Australia's cycling body, to host Sea Otter Australia.
| We are honoured to be bringing this festival to Australia. It’s time that bicycle riders across the Australasian region have the opportunity to experience a totally new cycling festival experience. One that celebrates the breadth of our multi-faceted cycling culture – on-road and off-road, for fun, health, recreation, competition and transport. And of course, the latest bikes and bling, fashion, music and brews in our Expo village.—BikeSA Chief Executive Officer Christian Haag |

Perhaps it could be renamed to “drop bear classic”
That would do it IMHO
Cotter emu?
Googong goanna?
Cairns region: population 165,000 and close to some... toads?
But to be serious, for example, I understand Trek chose Canberra for the location of its national HQ very deliberately because it's the most cycle-friendly city in the country and has so much to offer every type of rider. Sydney or Melbourne might be more obvious choices but Canberra is a natural location for this type of event.
Also, October Canberra is Cold AF, FNQ is beautiful in October.
