Big machines. Big smiles. A huge hit with the whole family. 🚜🤠

Outback Rodeos Inc has been adding more entertainment each year, and Tracmach has become a crowd favourite. First added in 2025 and back again in 2026, the tractors, dozers and vintage machinery have been a huge success.

A massive thank you to the Tracmach crew and everyone who brought a machine along and helped bring this display to life.

Let’s see how many pieces of machinery we can get involved for 2027! Got something you’d love to bring, or know someone who does? Get in touch with Outback Rodeos Inc and help make next year’s line-up even bigger.

Remembering Nick Fardell 💛

The stories, the laughter, the camp ovens and the people he brought together.

Nick came up with the idea for the cookoff and helped turn it into a much-loved part of the Coolgardie Outback Festival. He passed away in June 2025, but his memory lives on in the friendships, the friendly competition and the community carrying it forward.

This tribute brings together Nick doing what he loved, alongside memories from the people keeping that spirit alive. A film for everyone who knew him, shared a laugh with him or gathered around the coals.

His memory lives on.
