Horsing Around
Golden Bit Campdraft
Despite the continuing dry conditions spring is
the time for horse sports in the area, kicking
off with the Injune Golden Bit campdraft, which
was held on September 14 and 15 attracting a
competitive field from across the state. Thanks
go to cattle donors Owen and Sue Maller,
Ashley and Doris McKay, Dan and Lisa
Coggan and Glenn and Leanne Wilson who
made it possible for the draft to go ahead.
Sunday morning’s gymkhana, held by the
Injune Pony Club, will ensure there are plenty
of campdrafters well into the future.
Rodeo & Spring Draft
Upcoming horse events include the Meggs
Brazier Memorial Rodeo to be held in Injune
on October 12 and the Tooloombilla Spring
Draft on October 4 and 5. Because their rodeo
was cancelled earlier in the year due to
drought, Tooloombilla will hold a Bull and
Broncs event from 6pm on the
Saturday night.
Melbourne Cup Luncheon
Keeping with the horse theme
Injune Churches Together are
gearing up for their annual
Melbourne Cup luncheon on
November 5. Join them for a two
course luncheon, fashion parade,
racing on the big screen, sweeps,
and all the entertainment that
comes from a day at the races.
under the guidance of Casandra Sorensen
and Lee-ette Williams. The Youth Group is
currently getting oily. With product donated
from local businesses the kids have been
giving timbers on the Injune gateway signs
and the old cemetery a lick of love.
The Youth Group meets every Monday at
the old visitor centre in Injune and while they
often use the time to chill-out with kids of
their own age, they can just as often be
found volunteering around town. Later in the
year they will be adding Christmas
decorations to public spaces and are in
need of more tinsel. If you know someone
who would like to join the Youth Group or if
you have excess Christmas tinsel hiding in
the back of your cupboard please contact
Lee-ette at the Injune State School or
Casandra at Uniting Care
