OODNADATTA RACES AND GYMKHANA

Guests on the The Great Australian Outback Cattle Drive 2007 had the opportunity to enjoy this Outback event.

The weekend featured bush racing in its finest form, with five horse races - and two foot races! The highlight was the Oodnadatta Cup, run over 1600 metres. The final event of the day was the Team Relay Gymkhana on horseback.

The event included kid's races, where youngsters could demonstrate their skill in a multitude of events such as the Flag and Barrel Race, Potato Race and Thread the Needle. There was also a Saturday Night Dance at the Track.

Day two of the 117th Oodnadatta Races & Gymkhana featured a number of novelty events including Stock Horse Trials, foot races, motorbike races and the Ladies Bullock Tail Throwing Competition.
