FUN EVENTS

Camel Tagging

Camel Tagging is a crowd favourite and quite simply you just can’t miss this! It’s easy to explain, but not so easy to do. Fearless contenders enter an arena where a few young and lively camels are waiting. The object is to ‘tag’ a camel by sticking a piece of duct tape on it, then run back to the starting position, only to have to then chase down that same camel to retrieve the tape and finally return to the judge at the starting position. The fastest contender wins, but its not an easy task, so one could say that any who walk away without a bruise to their pride, are winners!

Sheep Tagging

A new crowd favourite! Think camel tagging, but with the kids competing and sheep instead.  Hilarious!

Yabby Races

And to prove that the good people of Boulia will race just about anything that can be tricky and unpredictable, they raid the dams and rivers to bring you Yabby Races!  This will take place Sunday afternoon, together with a Tug-of-War, foot races and other fun races and events.

The Great Australian Ride-on Lawn Mower Race

'Nuff said, its a great bit of fun to watch!

Family Fun & Fireworks

The whole program of events is a blast for the entire family, but to top it off there is a huge fireworks show and children’s entertainment and activities throughout the day.

Live music and dancing

When the dust has settled on the racetrack and the stunning outback sunset has finished its show, the evening program is just starting to heat up.  Friday and Saturday nights will feature live entertainment and of course the bar is open until late.

It’s around the evening campfires when some of the best times and memories are forged with new found Boulia friends, sharing a yarn and vowing to meet again next year under the big skies of Boulia.
