White Cliffs Gymkhana and Rodeo - About This event

The White Cliffs gymkhana and rodeo is one of the last remaining bush events in the Western Division of NSW. The gymkhana has been held annually for more than 100 years. It is one of the few continuing successful weekend, outback events.

Each year our family orientated weekend attracts young and old alike. People travel from Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide and everywhere in-between to enjoy what the weekend has to offer.

Gymkhana events are held on Saturday and Sunday mornings. The main attraction, the Rodeo, is held Saturday afternoon followed by a twilight tug 'o' war and a live band.

Novelty events are held Sunday for non horse riding people of all ages. The cross cut saw competition would have to be one of the highlights.

Money raised over the weekend goes towards local charities and organisations such as the State Emergency Service, Rural Fire Service, the local hospital, White Cliffs Public School and the Royal Flying Doctor Service. We proudly support these services on which we depend enormously. Money is also reserved for maintenance and upgrades of our facilities for all to enjoy.

The committee is made up of volunteers from White Cliffs and surrounding stations. It is because of their time, effort and commitment that we can bring you this great family weekend, fun for 'Bushies' and 'City Slickers' alike. Come along and see for yourself what White Cliffs gymkhana and rodeo has to offer!

2008 - Best Crowd Ever

Our annual Gymkhana & Rodeo, held on the 26th & 27th April 2008, attracted the biggest crowd ever. It was Huge!

Around 900 people filed through the gates between Friday night and Saturday; considerably more than we had anticipated, but everyone worked together and managed to cope with the huge crowd. 103 Gymkhana competitors were recorded along with 21 Rough Stock Riders. A change in weather conditions put a dampener on some events on Sunday; despite this everyone still seemed to make the most of the weekend's activities and enjoyed them selves.

Thanks must go to all our sponsors for making this family weekend possible.
