Today marks the second day of Beef Australia after a crowd of over 25,000 passed through the Rockhampton showgrounds in the first 24 hours of Rockhampton Beef Week.
Every busted cocky between Kyogle and Weipa have made their way to the Central Queensland town to network, innovate and fornicate – in what looks to be the biggest beef expo yet.
Numbers are only going to soar upwards with masses of school students attending the event today to learn just what they need to do if they want to live a life of flash new farm toys and privately school educated offspring.
While locals and visitors alike make their way through the stalls, an unexpected display of industry related tax write offs has also taken place in the main drag.
“Lucky we’ve got such wide streets” says the Mayor of Rockhampton, Tony Williams, who is apparently not the same person as that bloke they call Pineapple.
“We’ve had to start parking the Landcruisers at 45 degrees. That’s how many of them are pulling in”
While the going appears good for Queensland graziers, the week-long conference isn’t without it’s mandatory whingeing, as different cattle barons insist that they’ve been getting less rain then the other bushies they are whingeing to.
“Mate it’s dry as Kiwi shearer” said one prominent Betoota-based cattle magnate, Jack Pearson. Who was overheard complaining about shit at the cattlemen’s bar.
“You saw the videos of the our river running the other day? Yeah. That didn’t get anywhere near us”
“Only the neighbours got that rain”
