There was something for everyone to do, see, eat and smell at the 39th annual Cloncurry Show from rides and equestrian excellence to petting zoos and cake displays. 

Hundreds of locals and visitors packed into the showgrounds for one of the biggest event on the calendar. 

The North West Star was invited to ride as a passenger in the heart stopping Isuzu Team D-MAX stunt show on Friday morning. 

The performance, which saw cars being jumped and bumped and even driven on two wheels, was a definite crowd-pleaser.

But Cloncurry councillor Vicky Campbell said the arts and horticultural pavilion was the real star of the show.

“The variety is just fantastic and I think the pavilion really is the best part of the show. It highlights everything the region has to offer,” Cr Campbell said. 

Neil Zoglouer Kynuna dominated competition – taking out prizes for his pumpkins, cucumbers, watermelons and photographs. 

He was able to farm incredible produce in a black soil garden – which is known for being dust in the dry and mud in the wet. 

Show entries were up in the photography classes with stunning shots of wildlife, landscapes and portraits. 

Equestrian events were popular as always. 

Included in this year’s show events were, dressage, showjumping, led and hack, and several novelty events such as the Horsemanship Spectacular and the Robo Cow competition. 

The driving force behind the Cloncurry Show is a dedicated team of volunteers who have worked tirelessly to bring the community achievements and talents to life.

The show continues on Saturday June 16. 

Tickets are $15 for adults or $5 for kids and can be purchased at the gate.
