Participants arrive in a clearing littered with Ute’s and 4WD’s They make their way along a flame-lit path to a cane cutter’s campsite. A flaming “G’day” sign welcomes participants along with our bush band playing on the verandah of a farm building. Our local raconteur welcomes everybody, as participants are seated at the calico draped tables. Fire bins will throw flickering light around the campsite.
A magnificent traditional Aussie BBQ dinner ensues. Cane toad racing, animal handlers and some heel and toe polka are all part of the experience tonight.
A group on horseback thunder through the site carrying torches which they light from the fire bins. With a whoop and holler, they gallop away and light the cane. As the flames begin to die, a logo burns. Fireworks then light the night sky signalling the end of the Cane Cutters Ball.
