November 15, 2021<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Mt Stanley Muster Committee restored a long-standing tradition recently when it held the first Mt Stanley Campdraft in a decade.<\/p>\n

The muster began its life in 1963 and continued to be a popular annual event in the Upper Brisbane Valley for the next 48 years until ongoing droughts and an ageing committee put it on hold in 2011.<\/p>\n

But a newly formed committee intent on bringing the popular event back to life spent a large part of this year restoring and upgrading Mt Lindsay’s campdraft grounds to ensure they were fit for purpose.<\/p>\n

And after trialling them with a ranch sorting event in September, the committee quietly relaunched the Muster last month as a weekend-long event featuring Novice, Maiden, Junior, Juvenile, Mini and Open Drafts.<\/p>\n

The event attracted strong fields of competitors and officials hope this will expand in future years as the Muster resumes its place in the campdrafting circuit.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Kate Dohle told southburnett.com.au<\/strong> a special highlight of this year’s event occurred on the Saturday night when Muster officials held a Charity Auction of donated prizes.<\/p>\n

Half the auction’s proceed were donated to Capricorn Helicopter Rescue in memory of the late Peter Little, whose widow, son and extended extended family attended the event.<\/p>\n
