LOCATION: Merrijig Rodeo Grounds, Merrijig 

 

 

 Details

 

 

The rodeo takes place in the foothills of Mt Buller, surrounded by scenery made famous in The Man from Snowy River films. Whether you know your roping from your riding or it is your first time at the rodeo, you can expect an action packed evening and a friendly country welcome. 

Watch skilled cowboys and cowgirls compete across a packed program of traditional rodeo events, including bull riding, bronc riding, barrel racing and roping. Beyond the arena, there is plenty for the whole family, with kids’ activities, sideshow entertainment, food stalls and a licensed bar for the grown ups. Whether you follow the rodeo circuit or have never seen one before, it is an exciting night of country entertainment.
