The 2025 Burdekin Show burst to life under mostly clear skies and a soft winter sun, drawing thousands through the gates for a full day of colour, noise and classic country show charm.
From the moment the gates opened, the showgrounds buzzed with the sounds of laughter, engines, livestock and live music. Smoke drifted from food stalls frying onions and churning out steak burgers, while kids chased each other between pavilions, faces sticky with fairy floss.
Side Show Alley roared to life early, with shrieks echoing from the top of the Hurricane ride and the steady thud of mallets hitting high-striker games. In the main ring, the Flare Action Sports team launched their quad bikes skyward, drawing gasps from the crowd as they twisted mid-air. Over at the animal nursery, toddlers squealed with delight at piglets and goats, while parents snapped photos with melting ice creams in hand.
As the afternoon gave way to dusk, a warm orange glow settled across the grounds. Then, as the last of the show entries were judged and the dachshund race crowned its winner, Side Show Alley lit up. Neon lights blinked against the evening sky and the smell of wood chips and hot sugar filled the air. The Fireworks Spectacular wrapped up the night with a booming finale—sparks showering over the crowd, kids perched on shoulders, eyes wide, and hearts full.
