Nebo Rodeo hosted its first event in 1955 and was run by the RSL. The event was too big, so the Nebo Bushman's Carnival Inc. took over in 1956. All funds raised at the original event were donated to the Returned Soldiers through organisations like the RSL. The event has grown significantly since 1956 and is now the largest one-day rodeo in Australia. This event is run by volunteer committee, Nebo Bushman’s Carnival Inc., and raises valuable funds for the greater community including RSL, CQ Rescue, ICPA (Isolated Children’s Parents Association), local schools, sporting groups and P&C’s. The money raised and donated to the community is significant and is a great way for many small groups to raise some much-needed funds. As our event reaches closer to its 70th anniversary we look forward to ongoing success as we work towards becoming the best rodeo in the country. |
