The Stonehenge Bushman’s Carnival is a much-loved annual event that celebrates the spirit and resilience of the outback communities.
Held every third weekend in August, the carnival draws locals and visitors from across the region for a weekend full of action, mateship, and classic bush fun.
Run entirely by volunteers, the Stonehenge Bushman’s Carnival is a not-for-profit organisation that proudly donates funds to the Royal Flying Doctor Service and a chosen charity in need each year. Ongoing fundraising efforts provide much-needed support to people living in the bush.
The weekend features a packed program of traditional bush events, including:
Team Penning
Horse and Bike Gymkhana
RSA Rodeo Events
Stockman’s Challenge
Bronco Branding
It’s a weekend of hearty laughs, friendly competition, and genuine outback hospitality – a true highlight on the rural calendar and a celebration of everything to love about life in the bush.
