MINISTERIAL WELCOME MESSAGE –
2015 MOUNT ISA MINES ROTARY RODEO
Welcome to the 2015 Mount Isa Mines Rotary Rodeo – another
great Outback experience on Queensland’s vibrant events calendar.
The Palaszczuk Government is proud to support this event through
Tourism and Events Queensland, recognising the importance of
events tourism in driving visitation to Queensland’s regional areas.
Events like this are not only a great source of community pride,
they also support local jobs and bring social and economic benefits
to the community.
The Mount Isa Mines Rotary Rodeo celebrates the best of
Queensland and promises an iconic experience for visitors.
MT ISA MINES ROTARY RODEO
I would like to congratulate the event organisers, volunteers, and
local community for their efforts in delivering another great event
for Queensland.

The Hon. Kate Jones MP
QUEENSLAND MINISTER FOR TOURISM,
MAJOR EVENTS AND SMALL BUSINESS
WELCOME – MAYOR OF MOUNT ISA
The Mount Isa Mines Rotary Rodeo is one of the biggest jewels in the crown
of this fantastic city, and an event celebrated by all residents young and old.
Mount Isa is known as the premier mining city of Australia, but every August
it becomes known for much more than that – this world-class rodeo propels
it into one of the greatest tourist destinations in the country.
The Rodeo brings more than 20,000 people through the gates to celebrate
the event, with almost half of those being visitors to our region.
Coming from all corners of the globe, the rodeo brings people together, and
when they leave, they leave as ambassadors for Mount Isa, the great mining
city, and rodeo capital of Australia. This is a magnificent event, and a true taste of life in the outback.
As Mayor of this great city it is my pleasure to invite all residents, visitors, kids, and cowboys to saddle
up and enjoy the ride this year at the great 2015 Mount Isa Mines Rotary Rodeo.
Hon. Cr Tony McGrady AM | MAYOR OF MOUNT ISA
MOUNT ISA MINES
AND THE ISA RODEO
– A LEGENDARY
PARTNERSHIP
SINCE 1959
This year, Mount Isa Mines is proud to return as
the gold sponsor of the Mount Isa Mines Rotary
Rodeo after signing a new, three-year deal in
support of this iconic outback event.
This new deal cements a truly legendary
partnership between Mount Isa Mines and the
Isa Rodeo that has been in place since the first
rodeo in 1959.
Every year, the Mount Isa Mines Rotary Rodeo
attracts thousands of visitors to the north
west. It’s estimated to inject an additional $2.7
million into the local economy and contributes
about $5.5 million to the greater Queensland
economy annually. ‘The largest rodeo in the
southern hemisphere’ places our region front
and centre on the world stage, and plays a big
role in attracting tourism to Mount Isa - where
the outback lives.
This weekend, thousands of avid rodeo fans will
converge on the city. And it’s no wonder – with
more than 500 of the country’s best riders lining
up for more than $200,000 in cash and prizes, the
2015 Mount Isa Mines Rotary Rodeo promises to
be bigger and better than ever!
Good luck to all this weekend’s competitors and
spectators hold on to your hats – welcome to the
2015 Mount Isa Mines Rotary Rodeo.
WELCOME – MOUNT ISA MINES
ROTARY RODEO MANAGER
It’s been an incredible ride this year. I love the
community spirit rodeo brings. From its humble
beginnings in 1959 the event has grown to an
award-winning event. I’m amazed at the support
given by our very generous sponsors, many of
whom have been sponsoring for more than ten
years, some since its inception! And our amazing
band of hundreds of volunteers and Rotarians
who all contribute to make this event happen.
The Hungry Jack’s Isa Rodeo School with APRA
has held several schools throughout the year
with the aim of helping local riders and those
new to the sport learn top rodeo skills. We hope
you can join us for Family Day at the Rodeo on
Sunday 9th August and encourage visitors to the
Isa to experience the amazing new Unearthed
and Behind the Scene Tours, including the Chute
and Arena Tours. And to further grow visitation
to the Isa we have introduced the first Event
Glamping for Outback Queensland. I love the
excitement it brings to town, and I hope you
enjoy the 2015 Rodeo as much as we do!

the MIGATE Best Dressed Premises Competition.
The Queen Quest aims to promote women
in the sport of rodeo and support the local
community through fundraising activities for
local charities.
Just a short walk around the Mount Isa CBD and
you’d be forgiven for thinking the town had gone a
tad barmy! Symptoms include rodeo themed shop
fronts, paisley shirts in place of uniforms and don’t
be surprised if you see the odd bale of hay in foyers.
The entrants’ efforts throughout the year
culminates with the Bell & Moir Toyota Rodeo
Ball and the Queen Crowning – a highlight of
the Mount Isa social calendar.
Businesses spend months planning for the
competition, often hand-crafting decorations for

his spurring action with the horse’s bucking and stay

and spurring action and disqualified if he touches
the horse or equipment with his free hand, loses a
stirrup or bucked off before the end of the ride.
BAREBACK BRONC
With only a leather pad and a handle, the rider
must hold on with one hand for eight seconds.
As the horse bucks, he jerks his feet towards the
wither, snapping them back into position in front of
the shoulder ready for the next jump. The rider is
judged on his spurring action and disqualified if he
touches the horse, himself or equipment with his
free hand or bucked off before the end of the ride.
BULL RIDING
Fast, furious and dangerous. The rider holds
on with one hand and must stay on the bucking
bull for eight seconds. Both animal and rider
are judged – the rider on his style and the bull’s
ability to buck the rider before the buzzer. The
rider uses his feet to pull into position or hold
himself upright while the bull is spinning and
disqualified if he touches the bull or equipment
with his free hand.
STEER WRESTLING
With the use of a helper or hazer riding alongside
of the steer to keep it running straight, the rider
must lean from his horse and grasp the steer’s
horns. The rider then dismounts the horse
and uses his feet to stop the steer’s forward
momentum before rolling the steer to the
ground. The clock is stopped once the steer is
on its side with all four legs pointing in the same
direction. Winning times are under five seconds
from when the barrier is released.
RODEO 101
The calf is given a head start before the rider gives
chase. From horseback, the rider ropes the calf
and dismounts, rolling the calf on one side and
tying three of the calf’s legs together. The time
is recorded once the tie is complete. The rider
remounts his horse to prove the tie will hold – no
time is given if the animal kicks free. The rider
is disqualified and fined if the animal is pulled
backwards off its feet or dragged after it is roped.
Featuring a two-rider team, the steer is given a
head start. The header ropes the steer around
the neck, head or horns before the heeler moves
in to rope the hind legs. The rope is then dallied
around the saddle horn. Once secured, time is
recorded when both horses are facing each other
with no slack in the rope. Winning times are
around eight seconds. Improper catches result
in disqualification and five second penalties are
incurred if only one leg is roped.
LADIES BARREL RACING
Competing against the clock, the rider guides her
horse around a clover leaf pattern of three 205L
drums. Time penalties are imposed for knocking
over a barrel and disqualification for running
in an incorrect pattern. The rider may hold the
barrel from the riding position to prevent her
from falling. Time is taken by an electric eye to
the hundredth of a second.
LADIES BREAKAWAY ROPING
After a head start, the rider gives chase and
catches the calf with a rope attached to the
saddle horn with a ribbon. Once the catch is
made, the horse slides to a halt, the rope breaks
away from the saddle horn and the clock stops. A
piece of coloured cloth is attached to the end of
the rope to assist the judges in seeing and timing
the break.
PODDY RIDES
Poddy Rides is an event for riders aged eight to
13 starting out in their rodeo careers. Similar
to bull riding, the rider is strapped down to the
poddy with one hand using a bull rope. The free
hand must be raised at all times without touching
the poddy or himself. While not compulsory, the
rider may pick up extra points if he spurs. The
rider must stay on the poddy for six seconds.

HOW OFTEN ARE
ANIMALS INJURED?
22
A survey conducted by the APRA showed the
injury rate for animals used in rodeos throughout
Australia is 0.072 per cent. Our target for the Isa
Rodeo is zero animal injuries for each event. Just
in case, we have a qualified veterinarian on hand.
More often than not, the rider comes off second
best, so we have paramedics on hand too. We
also ensure our livestock are specifically bred
and trained for the rodeo arena and comply with
changes to competition rules.
ROPING DEVICE
Recently, we have introduced the Ropersmate™
roping device – a unique product developed in
consultation with industry to reduce the risk of
injury on both horses and cattle during rodeo
FLANK STRAPS
Unlike popular belief, a
beast’s bucking action is
not caused by pain inflicted
from the flank strap wrapped
around the animal’s genital
area. The lined portion of
the flank strap must be
positioned over the flank and
belly of the animal. It must
also be covered with sheep
skin or other suitable material and fitted with
a quick release. At no time does the flank strap
come in contact with the genitals and is rarely
pulled tighter than your trouser belt.
ELECTRIC PROD
We do not use electric prods on animals in the
arena or where it is unable to move in response
to the prod such as the chutes. Prods can only be
powered by dry cell batteries, as used in torches,
must be used with restraint and restricted to
the minimum amount necessary. Prods can only
be used by stock contractors or by a person
nominated by them under direct supervision.
SPURS
Spurs used by contestants in bucking horse
events must have blunt, free running rowels and
must be at least 3mm thick and 2cm in diameter
so they will not bruise or cut an animal. Spurs for
bulls are semi-locked. Non-regulation spurs will
result in disqualification. For more information,
please contact the APRA on (07) 4661 8183 or
visit prorodeo.asn.au

ANIMAL CARE
We have a long and proud history of rodeo as a
sport in Australia. Based on the work practices
of Australian Stockmen, the sport emulates the
skills required for handling
livestock on traditional cattle
properties. A key part of the
Isa Rodeo’s reputation for
providing outstanding rodeo
competition, year after year,
is based on our respect and
commitment to the welfare
of the livestock. As with any
sport, human or animal, peak
performance is only achieved
through proper care and
good health. We believe our
animals will perform their
best when they are happy, healthy and in top
condition. As a result, the Isa Rodeo has some of
the highest animal welfare standards guided by
the Australian Professional Rodeo Association
(APRA) Animal Welfare Code of Conduct.
events. The roping device works as a “shock
absorber” to lessen the force experienced
by both the horse and the calf, when the calf
is roped. Similar to abseiling equipment, it is
made from high strength anodised aluminium
and attached to the rider’s saddle horn. The
lasso rope is threaded through the device
with a backstopper knot to prevent the rope
from running through the end. The device has
demonstrated high durability during all field
testing and proven to reduce the impact by up to
75 per cent. The roping device has been endorsed
by all major Rodeo Associations in Australia as a
standard minimum equipment requirement for
competition in all Australian-based rodeo rope
and tie events.

OUR HISTORY
Famous for its rich mining history, the region was
first home to the Kalkadoon people. Masterful
tool and weapon makers, the Kalkadoon goods
were so prized that items such as stone knives,
boomerangs, woomera spears and shields were
found as far away as South Australia. In 1923, a
lone prospector in search of gold, John Campbell
Miles, discovered silver-lead ore about one
kilometre across the valley of the Leichhardt
River, in north-west Queensland. He named
his prospecting leases Mount Isa. Almost 100
years later, the Mount Isa Mine now owned by
Mount Isa Mines, is still one of Australia’s largest
producers of copper ore.
RECOGNISED BY
NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC
Mount Isa was recently named one of the top 10
Outback towns to visit by Australian Geographic.
Here’s what they had to say “Mount Isa might
conjure up images of smoke stacks and mining
but surrounding this town is a countryside filled
with scenic 4WD tracks, man-made lakes and a
heritage-listed national park”.

SUPPORTING OUR COMMUNITY
Mount Isa Rotary Rodeo Inc (MIRRI) is a non-profit
organisation whose predecessors had a vision to put the new,
remote town of Mount Isa on the map. The Rodeo has its own
mystique and a history dating back to 1959. Back then it took
weeks to walk the bucking horses in from Carrandotta Station
on the Queensland-Northern Territory border to the old rodeo
yards at Kalkadoon Park, Mount Isa. Now the horses and bulls
are brought in by truck to Buchanan Park.
