LateRooms.com - Gold Coast to Stage Rescheduled National Finals Rodeo

The event will take place in April following a three-month delay.

2011-03-19

GOLD COAST, AUSTRALIA, March 19, 2011 (Press-News.org) Cowboys and girls will head to the Gold Coast at the start of next month to compete in the 2011 National Finals Rodeo (NFR).

The event was originally scheduled to take place in January, but Queensland's flood emergency caused a three-month delay. It is now set to run between April 7th and 10th at the Gold Coast Convention and Exhibition Centre.

Millions of dollars will be on the line at Australia's largest rodeo, which will see sportsmen and women compete in six categories - bareback bronc riding, barrel racing, bull riding, saddle bronc, steer wrestling and team roping.

The NFR coincides with and takes place in the same suburb as the Australian Surf Life Saving Titles, meaning the Gold Coast will be the country's capital of "Reef and Beef" at the time.

"There are the cowboys, cowgirls, the bucking stock, the bulls and barrel racing, but there are also huge TV screens, plenty of glamour, colour and much more," the organisers explained.

Proceedings kick off at 19:00 local time on the opening night. Passes are available from AU$19 for adults and AU$12 for children. Family tickets start at AU$50.

Sports fans looking for cheap accommodation in the area can find a wide variety of Gold Coast accommodation at LateRooms.com.au.
