Description

The rodeo has its own mystique and a history dating back to 1959. Back then it took weeks to walk the bucking horses in from Carrandotta Station on the Queensland-Northern Territory border to the old rodeo yards at Kalkadoon Park, Mount Isa. Now the horses and bulls are brought in by truck to Buchanan Park. Through the two Rotary Clubs of Mount Isa we stage the Southern Hemispheres largest rodeo. Yes we do it cause we love it, but at the heart of it, we do it to better the lives of our community, our City and our region.
The Rodeo help generate new economic activity and raises the profile of Mount Isa and Outback Queensland as" Rodeo Capital of Australia". Since its inception, the Isa Rodeo has directly given 3.8m to charity in our City, in addition to providing important fundraising opportunities for clubs, non-profit groups, schools and community services throughout our City. By supporting the Isa Rodeo, youre also supporting our wider community. The Rotary motto is Service Above Self - service in the community, service in the workplace and service throughout the world.
Through community service projects, Rotary address many of todays most critical issues, such as children at risk, poverty, hunger, the environment, illiteracy and violence. The organisation also supports programs for youth, education, career development and international exchanges for students, teachers and professionals.
