Event location
Beaudesert information
One of Australia’s equestrian capitals is the backdrop for fine horses and horsemanship.
Step back in time to ride along rolling rural landscapes or breathe in the dust and sweat at a rodeo or campdraft. You’ll see tough riders, tough action and real adventure.
Farm stays are real, working farms. This is not a cosmetic experience.
Just 60 minutes from central beach locations, you’re in a completely different culture.
‘Yarn’ with locals over a beer at a country pub or go camping in reserves where you won’t feel fenced in.
Historic buildings mark more than 150 years of settlement as a cattle kingdom - follow historic trails past grand homesteads and vaulting timber churches.
Spectacular national parks such as rugged Mt Barney or lush Lamington beckon, do-it-yourself four-wheel driving.
Locally grown rhubarb or kiwifruit abound at a country market or sip the nectar of the gods at a winery.
Beaudesert beckons as an authentic experience of rural life. Very Real, Very Gold Coast.
