Bulls, Saddle Broncs, Barrels, Steer Wrestling, Team Roping,…. all the action of the Rodeo from Apple Tree Creek with stock coming from the Roundabout Rodeo Co.
From the Classic to the Futurity, Junior, Novice and Open the Bulls plied the tools of their trade and lived up to their name and credentials and showed the boys who wore the pants and who filled them.
All came out for the action on a drizzley afternoon. Umbrellas were the main item of fashion.

It was a big noisy night in Bundy for the Rotary-Agrotrend Rodeo. The cowboys came out of the paddocks to see the 4B event. Larry Cann did the spruiking to the crowd and the team from BIG SCREENS AUSTRALIA had the action replays going all night (Its good to have money.) There were some good rides in the bulls and broncs and the juniors were cheered on by the crowd. The girls from S2S and NBHA D2 INC kept the times short in the barrel racing. Overall it was a good night for the the fledgling CCRA (Cowboys & Cowgirls Rodeo Assoc.) Big Screens Australia (BSA) are going to be at the Gympie Rodeo.
The lights went out and the crowd danced on. Open bulls were a bit light on, but the juniors and novice made upfor it with their efforts
Stock from Brian King, Destiny Downs and Kerry Hall won out at the Orange Festival, putting a majority of the riders out of the cash. Drizzle had the crowd looking for shelter and changed the programme
when horses were unable to gain traction in the timed events. Some events were short competitors, but overall good performances had the crowd cheering. It was good to see the rodeo back in action.
And the winner is … TEEBAR. After the floods,The locals came out in force for the annual show and rodeo. The day was a bit blustery. All except for a couple of toughies were rugged up against the wind.
Hall Rodeo supplied the stock, Bill Urquart was the man in the know. The rodeo was kept rockin with some of the best rodeo mix i’ve heard in a long time. Kerry Hall was good at Gayndah
but Mal Brown of RadioActive was the best, and “rang dem bells” The Bulls and Horses rocked while the riders bit the dust.
Brian King supplied the bulls for the sports day rodeo. Competitors were short on numbers for the new RSA affiliate, but there was a good crowd in attendance for the
rodeo and the whole sports day with the jumping continuing during the rodeo. It was the 93rd sports day.
Just some clips of the 4th challenge between the NRA and the CRCA. There was another good crowd
and Larry Cann and his offsider revved them up.
A large crowd arrived for the postponed rodeo. A delay, lacklustre music and a slippery track noticable for the barrels, not so the bulls and horses. The riders handled themselves well for the conditions.
Stock was from Clint Harris, Dean Weller and Hall rodeo. Ray West and Gabe Wood handled the protection for the cowboys.
Biggest fields i’ve seen in the last couple of years. Large crowd but they didn’t seem enthusiastic. Lots of campers.Hot rides in the bares, with Dinny Moran getting a 75,
while the poddy riders were flying by the seats of their pants. Jeff Moretto stayed on for a 81 in the bulls and Alan knox weny a 11.25 in the rope & tie.
Steers put on the brakes, leaving the wrestlers grabbing at the air.Cheyenne Whitwell is getting good results with her horse.
Snow Timms bought some of the big boys toys to Mundubbera for Dan Weedon to play with. Bulls and horses won the majority of the bouts, with Dick Peterkin and Greg Hamilton on top in their events. Karl Ware had another win after Dallarnil. Jane Clarke was back for another win after Mulgildie, and Amanda Hair showed mum knows best. Anthony Ellem had a win in preparation for the Chinchilla Melon Festival
The boys put on a show for a couple of German tourists, and ringmaster Dan Staines said that they could keep the bull and any cowboy they caught that jumped the fence. Other members of the team were Rick Knudsen horses and Matt Bunn and Kevin Purcell. Irish Dan gave Pat Staines a dancing lesson.
As usual a good crowd was on hand for the Dallarnil Rodeo.Senior competitors were down (probably on holidays.)
Younger competitors kept the crowd entertained.
It was different with the team penners – over 120 teams.
Brian King’s bulls, Ray West & Bryce Cobin were the protection, Lenny Jansen provided the commentary
while Larry Cann tried on the steers for size
The crowd built up for what ended up being a family affair rodeo… mum, dad, brothers and sisters all taking part. No bares and bull riders were light on, but the timed events held the crowds attention.
Barrel racers found the track loose with horses unable to get traction going round the barrels. Steer wrestlers definitely had their hands full. Saddle bronc riders were mostly able to retain their seats,
but the feature bull “Cochise” left an indelible mark on his unwary victim.The crowd got behind the juniors and the locals and showed their appreciation.Horses were Rick Knudsen and
bulls were from the Roundabout Rodeo Co.
The day was long and hot, the crowd built up to watch the events (20 down to 19). Numbers were down in the senior events.
Brian King’s Bulls and Rick Knudsen’s Horses weren’t bested on the day. Highlights were the calcutta, Champagne Ladies Steer Ride
and the Ladies Bareback Barrel Race and the Junior events.
A large crowd dared the onset of the weather and were appreciative of the performances by the barrel racers, poddy, steer and bull riders.
Others were to watch the horse events, woodchops, mower racers and athletics along with the displays and stalls
No one in the government has respected the culture of small communities that use this long weekend for keeping the community alive.
The Dallarnil Sports is a long standing tradition ( a full day of physical entertainment where anyone can participate ) that is accepted by the whole of the Wide Bay.
The rodeo was on but things were a bit higgly piggley. Costs, fuel, other expenses aren’t helping show committees to get noms in for rodeos. There was plenty of action
