Organised by ambo Scott Jones it featured around 20 competitors going head to head for the Mount Isa Strongman and Strongwoman title in events from truck pulls to heavy lifting all of which thrilled spectators in the grassy area at Buchanan Park. A highlight was the bus pull where competitors had 60 seconds to pull a 24t GVM Mount Isa Coaches bus for 20 metres.
Travis Wieck was fastest completing the job in an incredible 22.86 seconds.
Jones thanked all those who helped make the event a success. “With the help of Amariah Bishop letting me borrow her 20ft trailer and Clinton using his works large truck and others using their utes we had it all set up in two hours,” he said.
