A year without bull riding and the whole town showed up to watch other people get thrown around for once.
Cowboys back in the saddle as Alice Springs Rodeo returns
The Alice Springs Rodeo returned to Blatherskite Park on Saturday after missing 2025, drawing more than 2,000 spectators to watch riders take on bucking bulls and horses. Ten-year-old Lucy Muenstr competed on poddy calves, 12-year-old Ollie McKay travelled 300 kilometres to enter, and veteran Garyshane James, 41, praised the next generation. Organisers, who converged from roughly 1,000 kilometres away, called it a "peak success" and hope to run it again next year.
