The action exploded at the Honky Tonk rodeo at the Noosa Country Show on Saturday night at new Pomona grounds with a packed crowd enjoying the thrills and spills.

Women’s barrel racing kicked off the action with Ellie Granger first out of the gates followed by a full night of rodeo events including bull riding, U12 mini bull riding and bronco riding.

Some of the best in the business showed their skills in the ring at Pomona.
