ON the last Saturday in December, Carrieton came alive once again with its famous rodeo.
It was a special event, with the rodeo celebrating its 60th year.

The hardworking Carrieton community has made sure the rodeo survived, despite being tied down with red tape issues in the past few years.
Crowds packed the arena to watch the finest rodeo cowboys and cowgirls in action before kicking up their heels to Adelaide band The Buzz.
Support from new major sponsor Oz Minerals – and more than 40 other sponsors – will ensure the rodeo continues helping raise much-needed funds for the Carrieton and Orroroo communities and the Royal Flying Doctor Service.
Stock Journal’s Louise McBride was there to cover all the action.
