Winton Outback Festival 2013

Pack in 5 days of outback fun with the Winton Outback Festival every second year (next festival 24th September 2013)

Pack your swag and head out west for 5 days of thrills, spills and rip roaring action at the Outback Festival in Winton Queensland.

Held every second year, this Winton festival delivers all the unique events synomous with the bush - a ute muster, truckies' reunion, derby, whip cracking, iron man and women challenges. 

There is no such thing as a spectator sport with tourists and locals encouraged to enter the Australian Dunny Derby, Outback Iron Man and Iron Woman events, a Ute Muster and the Whip Cracking Championships just to name a few.

You havent 'experienced' the outback until you've entered the Australian Dunny Derby, or witnessed the World Crayfish Derby Race Meeting, part of the line up of unique events at the Winton Outback Festival.

The other zany events which now include the Outback Iron Man and Outback Iron Woman events, True Blue Aussie Sports Competition, Bushman's Egg Throwing Competition, Outback Iron Kid Event,Country/Rock Music Spectacular, just to name a few of the 50 events conducted during the 5 days of festivities.

Outback Festival Program can be viewed on the Outback Festival website.
