The Countdown Is On: Check Out the Final Lineup!

The countdown is on as the final line up of events for the weekend is announced!

Tom White, Manager of the Field Days, said: “This year, we have an exciting mix of farming equipment and agricultural exhibitors, along with family favourites like the Hawkesbury Working Sheep Dogs and Noah’s Racing Pigs. We have a great mix of old and new technology, with the Yass Antique Machinery Club showcasing their historic farming equipment, and over 300 exhibitors presenting many of the latest Ag Tech products. It’s a fantastic way to explore the past, present, and future of agriculture.” 

New for 2024, the Telstra Tech Alley will highlight the impact of technology on rural communities and showcase how cutting-edge innovations are revolutionising farming practices.  

The Komatsu Demonstration Area is now bigger and better, featuring hands-on experiences with the latest Intelligent Machine Control and GPS technology. Visitors can even try the excavator simulator and test these advanced machines before making a purchase. 

Kids will have a blast in the Hutcheon & Pearce Fun Zone, where they can drive a John Deere pedal tractor, while adults can test their golf skills with the ‘Big Putts Challenge’—a thrilling twist on traditional golf using a compact excavator to putt a giant ball. It’s a great way to entertain the family while checking out the latest farm machinery. 

What else is on? 

  • Camel Rides: Bushfield Camels from Gunderoo will be bringing their charismatic camels for rides and sensory experiences. 
  • Reptile Show: Reptile fans are in for a treat when renowned snake expert Geoff Coombes OAM from Living with Wildlife, along with Gavin Smith from ACT Snake Removals, teaches visitors how to live peacefully with local venomous snakes. 
  • Golden Gumboot Challenge: After a 30-year hiatus, the quirky Golden Gumboot Throwing Competition returns! Everyone is invited to try their hand at hurling a gumboot as far as possible for a chance to win the coveted Golden Gumboot trophy. Men’s, women’s, and children’s trophies are up for grabs, sponsored by local gumboot seller Murrumbateman Rural Supplies. 
  • Free Face Painting: Kids aged 3-12 can enjoy free face painting, sponsored by the Murrumbateman Community Association, helping to ease the cost of a big day out. 
  • Antique Machinery Display: The Yass Antique Machinery Club will showcase a fascinating static display of traditional farming equipment, along with old-time living demonstrations and their annual ‘tractor pull’ competition. 
  • Helicopter Rides: Enjoy a scenic flight with Snowy Mountains Helicopters. The helicopter can carry up to three passengers, including children, with prices starting from $80 for a five minute ride. 
  • Emergency Services Demonstrations: Emergency services will be well-represented, with the SES, RFS, and NSW Mounted Police showcasing their skills, while the VRA will impress with their ‘jaws of life’ and car rescue demonstrations. 

There’s plenty of extra excitement beyond the main attractions. Visitors can enjoy stage entertainment featuring local musicians and dance troupes. For the little ones, Outback Pony Rides and the Kids Farmyard Trail offer fun, hands-on experiences. Witness Brumby demonstrations that showcase these magnificent horses, and younger children can enjoy the Old Kentucky Animal Farm for a hands-on encounter with farmyard animals. There will be agricultural drone displays on the oval, while Durkins Amusements provides a range of rides, including dodgem cars, the Cha Cha, a giant slide, cup and saucer rides, and a jumping castle. Additionally, livestock exhibitors will be showcasing their adorable Babydoll sheep and impressive Galloway cows, making for a well-rounded day of family-friendly activities. 

Over 16 community groups will be providing catering and event services across the site, to ensure visitors have a great day out. Last year, the Murrumbateman Field Days—run by the local Murrumbateman Community Association—ploughed nearly $70,000 back into the Yass Valley community, thanks to volunteer support. 

Adult day tickets are $25, youth are $12, family day passes are $60, and kids under 10 enter for free. Concession and weekend passes are also available.
