Information

Rural locality north of Tamworth

The place to be on Australia Day, 26th January. Friendly country celebrations are held. The highlight is the ride on mower race. Competitors come from around the area and beyond to test man and machine in the obstacle course race. The locals were able to use local knowledge and a bit of cunning and good driving to see off the Bendemeer challengers last time. Who will win in 2011? Come and see and join in.
