Probably the highlight of this years trip was the New Year celebrations at Upper Horton Campdraft and Rodeo with hundreds of cowboys and girls and a live rockband playing in the social club garden.  The campdraft is totally Australian with the horsemanship something else.  The rodeo is more American but has been adopted by the Aussies.  Watching cowboys riding wild bulls and unbroken horses, although a bit brutal was quite a spectacle.  The dress code for the weekend was cowboy hats, boots and checked shirts (not to forget the spurs).  It took several pints of lager to get the dust out of our throats.
