September 4, 2026<\/strong><\/p>\n

Everything comes to those who wait … even the Goomeri Show!<\/p>\n

The annual event, always a highlight on the local show circuit, was much-delayed this year due to the weather but the gates were finally thrown open last weekend.<\/p>\n

There was plenty to keep visitors interested on Saturday, including a Farmer’s Challenge, a Stockman’s Challenge, cattle, dogs, showjumping, a busy pavilion and an even busier bar.<\/p>\n

A highlight this year was the expanded amusements area for children, with free face-painting and unlimited rides for $10.<\/p>\n

Fireworks at night capped off a big day for the show society volunteers (and a warm day for showgoers!).<\/p>\n
