Boxing Day marked the 65th time the event has been held in the North East town, and Mr Panlook hopes it will continue to be supported in years to come.
“It’s probably one of the longest running rodeos in Australia under the same name,” he said.
“We’ve been fairly fortunate to be nominated for lifetime membership now, for the hall of fame.
“If we can keep the crowd coming and the money coming in, we can give a better show.
“It is good for the area.
“We’re only a small town and this is one of the main events in the town.
“I've spoken to a lot of competitors and they say this is probably one of the most picturesque rodeos they've been to.”
More than $50,000 in prize money was offered for the event, which featured barrel racing, team roping, steer wrestling and other categories of competition.
