🔥 STATE OF ORIGIN RODEO – THIS SATURDAY NIGHT 🔥

Introducing your captains… and this is where it gets serious.

🐂 NSW BULLS – led by Kyle Hall
🐂 QLD BULLS – led by Lucas Taylor

The stage is set. The rivalry is real. And these two are ready to lead their teams head-to-head in one hell of a showdown.

🦆 Duck Racing – get amongst the fun and cheer them on
🐴 Horse rings in action all day
🌾 Exhibitors & pavilions open – showcasing everything from agriculture to local talent

There’s something happening from the minute the gates open right through to the final whistle Saturday night.

🎟 Round up your crew, wear your colours, and get ready for a proper State vs State battle… rodeo style.

QLD vs NSW. Who’s taking it out?

Friday night at the Spano's IGA Warwick Show is shaping up to be a big one in the main arena, proudly supported by Carey Bros Abattoirs.

There’s plenty happening across the grounds with sideshow alley in full swing, tradespace galore, and Bluebird Kitchen and Smokehouse cooking up a storm with plenty of great food to keep everyone going.

Out in the Main Arena you’ll see a full night of action before the sky lights up with fireworks thanks to Darling Downs Bank.
