Mount Larcom is situated halfway between Rockhampton and Gladstone, and the Mount Larcom Show is on this Saturday and Sunday, 21 and 22 June. This is a great regional show, and there are some 129 regional shows in Queensland, but the Mount Larcom one sticks out as one of the best. People come from all over the place, including Gladstone, Calliope, Rockhampton and, of course, Mount Larcom district.

It is a great agricultural show with much, much more to offer. There are horse events for all ages, including show-jumping, a stud cattle program, poultry, show dogs. They also have ute masters, chainsaw events, trade displays, market stalls and lots more. Then there is the entertainment—sideshow alley for the kids and young adults alike. Fireworks are on at night time, and the bar runs late into the night. There is plenty of food, with barbecues and drinks available throughout the day. Don't miss it; if you are in the area, please attend, because it is a great show.
