Cane Toad Racing
Yes, it is a thing. Just to prove we are serious, you can visit the IronBar website for up to date race information.
Famous cane toads race on a regular basis and it’s unmissable, unforgettable and very unique family entertainment.
It’s said that you haven’t been to Port Douglas if you haven’t been to the IronBar.
