PROGRAM
Lawn Mower Racing
We can’t wait to bring back Lawn Mower Racing after a 4-year break! The Australian Ride on Lawn Mower Racing Association will be sure to keep the crowds entertained with their modified ride on mowers which can reach speeds of up to 100km/phr.
Our competitors are revving to go so make sure you don’t miss the chance to come and cheer them on in the Deniliquin Freighters Sports Arena each afternoon.
Wild Action
Wild Action isn’t a ‘petting-zoo’….far from it! They are Australia’s leading wildlife education Zoo. Their educational ethos is simple, “How can we save something, if we don’t understand it or love it?” Their shows and ‘animal activations’ are hands-on, engaging and informative. There will be an unbeatable array of wildlife, suitable for all ages in attendance at this year’s Muster.
There will be 3 stage shows performed daily with a chance to get up and close with the animals.
