No Muster is complete without a nail biting, dust raising rodeo.

The Kununurra Rodeo is only held twice a year and the Muster Rodeo is the largest in the region. It’s a serious competition with big cash prizes and the chance to watch local cowboys try to ride the longest 8 seconds of their life on the spectacular saddle bronc, bull and bullock rides.

If you have never been to a rodeo, it is truly an amazing experience full of, as they say, ‘Big bulls, big cash prizes and big falls’! It’s a contest of awesome skill and bravery dating back to the 1800s and attracts competitors from all over the Kimberley and Northern Territory.

It’s also a wonderful glimpse into the lifestyle and characters that live in the Kimberley and many of the attendees are from the region, so it’s a great chance to meet and mingle with the locals, who are relaxed and having fun and generally in very good form.

It’s a great day for adults and families and in addition to the bull rides, there are more than 20 events including the spectacular saddle bronc, barrel racing and more. For kids, there is a barrel race event and also a poddy ride.
