Fashions on the Field
Fashions on the Field is a big part of the Julia Creek Dirt n Dust Race Day! The quality of fashions we continue to see each year during this event are simply stunning, they wouldn’t be out of place at Flemington! But don’t be scared, there will be others that are there exhausted from the Adventure Run who have only just managed to pull on clean clothes. Julia Creek is the sort of town where nothing is out of place.
Fashion Theme – The Best Of The Bush
Fashions on the Field: “Best of the Bush” is a spirited celebration of the rugged charm and timeless elegance synonymous with the Australian outback. Embracing the essence of the bush, this theme invites attendees to showcase their interpretation of outback style with a blend of tradition, adventure, and sophistication.
