Bamaga Mud Rally

It's usually held on the Australia Day weekend,


... but can also be other times like Easter.

It needs to be the wet season though, so that there is a lot of mud to splash around in.

The Bamaga Mud Rally

There is a special place for it behind the oval,

... and the competition categories are 4 cylineder and 6 cylinder for men and women.

The prizes come as vouchers to local shops and Seaswift,

... so the money goes back to local communities.

It is a whole day event from 9am to 5pm, with registration in the morning,

... a lunch break between 12 and 1pm,

... semi finals and finals in the afternoon,

... followed by the mayor's speech and presentation.

Other Things

There are also other things like pig hunt competition with prizes,

... different displays and demonstrations by SES,

... barbeque and bus service between the communities.

There is an opportunity to sign up to be members for SES,

... and the gold coin donations for barbeque and bus service goes towards SES.
