Despite the drought, the North Star Bushmen’s Carnival was a great success according to committee member Jeff Nixon.
“It was doubtful that the Draft would go ahead (September 8-9) , however the committee made the call only a couple of weeks ago to proceed.
“Over 800 cattle were rounded up from the local farmers allowing for more than 130 entrants to take part.
“The ring was in perfect shape after recent rain and the riders were off to an early start on Saturday completing 600 runs by Sunday afternoon.
“Many thanks to all of the sponsors, truck and cattle suppliers and volunteers,” he said.
