"Surrounded by the dry sclerophyll forests of the north Australian savannah, Mt Garnet is a tin-mining town on the brink of extinction. However each May it is transformed when approximately 3500 people descend on the town to attend its annual racing carnival.
Mt Garnet Amateur Turf Club is a country thoroughbred racing club in Far North Queensland. Originally established to provide entertainment in the local area, the Club is now in its 80th year. The Club has promoted and developed the 'Sport of Kings' in the Far North with the help of many families who were instrumental in the development and are still involved today.
The racing carnival is held in conjunction with the Mt Garnet Rodeo Association's annual rodeo. These events are quintessentially Australian and focus on the old-fashioned values of country hospitality and mate-ship. The Mt Garnet Races & Rodeo tradition sees people travel from all over the country to attend.
Over time the event has evolved, but it owes its roots to the troops who were stationed in the area during World War II. It is an action-packed event with two days of thoroughbred racing, one rodeo day, and nights filled with live music and campfires."
