Quambatook Tractor Pull - 45th Australian Tractor Pull Championship 2023
About Quambatook Tractor Pull - 45th Australian Tractor Pull Championship 2023
Sight! Sound ! Action ! Diesel f uel, Blown Alcohol, and the giddy expectation of an anxious crowd... the is spectacle feeds an addiction for raw horse power.
Any tractor pull may be called the ultimate contest between the proverbial immovable object and the irresistible force, but at Quambatook Easter Saturday (8th of April 2023) driven by competitive spirit and brute force, horsepower is king when the tractor is hooked.
As competitors take off the engines scream the RPM's and push their equipment to the very edge, it won't take long for the event to 'gain traction'
Tickets are available at ticketebo, see below link.

Gilbert & Sullivan - The Gondoliers
The Gondoliers
Libretto by W.S.GILBERT
Music by ARTHUR SULLIVAN
Set in Venice, and a balmy isle in the Mediterranean, this is the quintessential light opera of mixed up babies at birth, set to “the happiest music ever written by an Englishman”. Cachucha, fandango, bolero, Sullivan was truly inspired to write such delicious Italian and Spanish melodies. Gilbert’s satire of Republicanism is still as fresh today as ever. “When everyone is somebody then no one’s anybody”.
Marco and Giuseppe have just married their sweethearts,
Gianetta and Tessa, who they won in a game of blind-man’s-buff!
On their wedding night however, the Grand Inquisitor informs
them that one of them is the rightful King of Barataria.
Furthermore, he, whoever he is, was married in infancy to Casilda
– the daughter of the Duke and Duchess of Plaza-Toro – who
have just arrived in Venice to claim their daughter’s husband.
Starring:
RON PIDCOCK – LYNLEE WILLIAMS – LAURA SLAVIN – EMILIE WASHINGTON
STEPHEN CAROLANE – DANIEL FELTON – ISABELLE MAZZARELLA – ANDREW ALESI
IAN LOWE – MARISA PANZARIN
and featuring:
ANNA CASTLE – EMMA SUTCLIFFE
AMANDA RASMUSSAN – KEVIN YAP – ED BURGER
SAM HARGREAVES – JAMIE TAMPION – RODNEY GARRATT
This will be a splendid New Production with lavish new sets and gorgeous costumes.
