Rebecca Maddern “the face of the 2012 Geebung Polo”
The Geebung vs. Cuff 'n' Collar Polo Match is an annual event whereby the 'High Country Cattlemen' take on the 'City Slicker' team in a polo match, named after the Banjo Patterson poem 'The Geebung Polo Club'. This flagship event is certainly one not to be missed and like the poem it has a continual history of 23 years! The event is bound by tradition and the Australian competitive sportsmanship, in the long running rivarlry between city and country. After last years success with crowds of over 3000 people on a beautiful sunny April Easter day will keep the Geebung Polo in the picturesque setting of Cobungra Station.
Easter Games and Activities will happen throughout the day
Live band
Fashion on the Field
Giant Tug a war with 100m rope
Frozen Chook throwing competition
Face Painting
Scenic Helicopter rides
... and of course the match of the day!
