non-stop adrenaline fueled drama on dirt!

Notorious for Australia’s toughest conditions, the Julia Creek Dirt n Dust Festival also attracts the country’s toughest bull riders. Catch the non-stop dangerous drama on dirt as the insanely brave cowboys risk it all. There are no time outs, no towels to through in, nothing but try and hold on for 8 bone-shaking, desperate seconds!

Combine the action of the arena with great music and seating sloping down to the arena fence so you feel the anticipation, but with the typical laid-back attitude of outback towns – you have an event not to be missed. Riders from all over Australia will converge at Dirt n Dust Central to try their best to take home over legendary prize money.
