RENOWNED as Australia’s highest single payout professional rodeo, the 2015 Ernest Henry Mining Curry Merry Muster is also staking its claim as a true Outback Festival with a three day, three night program brimming with entertainment and activities.
On Thursday night, July 30, events will commence with the Alliance Airlines Street Parade organisers having confirmed two more exciting additions to the schedule in the form of a guest appearance by renowned poet and balladeer Brenda Joy at the Bush Poets Breakfast and the hosting of the conclusion of the David Morris Reason to Ride event.
The Bush Poet’s Breakfast on July 31 will see budding poet’s, yarn spinners and joke tellers enjoy a delicious bush style breakfast joined by Ms Joy as special guest judge, MC and performer. A renowned, awarded and published performance poet and balladeer with poems and songs forming parts of individual and group collections throughout Australia, she looks forward to being part of the mornings activities commencing at 7.30am at the Cloncurry Community Precinct.
Leading on from the mornings Bush Poets Breakfast festival goers and the local community are then invited to make their way back to the Community Precinct to welcome the riders of the David Morris Reason to Ride event. The endurance cycling charity ride will commence in Townsville on July 27, before arriving in the township of Cloncurry around 11.30am marking the end to the five day/800km ride.
Raising awareness of the research being performed by Sydney based, world expert in cancer surgery, Professor David Morris, co-organiser and David Morris Reason to Ride Committee member Gillian Gilmore said “they chose the North West route to highlight Professor Morris and the many rider’s passions for ensuring all patients, regardless of their geographic location, access the care they require”.
