75 Years Strong — Living and Breathing the Rodeo with President Peter Brown

75 Years Strong — Living and Breathing the Rodeo with President Peter Brown   The 2025 Mareeba Rodeo was a huge success and President Peter Brown caught up with Black Star to reflect on the milestone event — from the incredible turnout to the growing list of highlights, like the debut of the Women’s Ranch Bronc Ride, sold-out camping, the free-style motocross, duck races and so much more!   With more than 500 volunteers and a small but mighty committee working behind the scenes, this year’s rodeo was a true team effort — and it showed.   Local organisations, community groups, and sporting clubs across Mareeba benefit every year, with over $10,000 in donations flowing back into the community.   If you’re thinking of getting involved for 2026 — on the committee, as a volunteer, or even just with an idea — now’s the time, the countdown to next year’s rodeo has already begun. ----more----
