Did you see the new ‘Not my first Buchan Rodeo’ merch on Easter Sunday?
The funds raised by our honorary committee member Kelly totalled more than $3500 - with 100% back to the rodeo. Thanks for the countless hours you put in making the merch - it’s a champion effort.

Rodeo action! Broncs, Bulls, Ropes and Barrels. Food trucks and stalls, some pretty cool merchandise and a whole lot of fun 👌come and enjoy Easter Sunday

The boring part - the rules:
No BYO alcohol. No dogs.
Identification checks for 18-25 year olds.
Wristbands to show a patron is 18+
No secondary supply of alcohol to under-18s PLEASE DO NOT get us busted for this. TBH we had a heck of a time with the liquor licence and we need everyone to respect the rules so we can continue running our family-friendly event.

Bring your cash! $40 = unlimited rides
Which means $40 and your kid is sorted for most of the day… plus you’re helping raise money for the Buchan Primary School!
Or $10 for 2 rides.
Sponsored by Graymont - our local Buchan Quarry - come and ride the Graymont Bucking Bull! 🐂

East Gippsland Asset Protection Pty Ltd
These guys are the best. Their help on the day is invaluable and they support us in every way they can, even donating some of their time so we can get on with the important job of making a small profit to donate to our community groups like the two Bush Nursing Centres, the school and the early learning centre.
Please respect this crew while they help us keep the rodeo within the rules!
