Mark the last weekend in September in your calendars for the ‘King of the Ranges Stockman’s Challenge and Bush Festival’.

This is an event for all ages, which features Australia’s top stockmen and women competing in whip cracking, packhorse, bareback obstacle, cross country, shoeing and stock handling. It also has a kid’s goat race on Saturday that is not to be missed.
