Mirrool Silo Kick
Oct
10

Mirrool Silo Kick

One of those events absolutely not to be missed, the annual Mirrool Silo Kick is back, and yes, someone will once again attempt to boot a Sherrin over a set of towering concrete silos.

What started in the ’80s as a casual $50 bet, when Riverina local and AFL legend Billy Brownless returned home for a wedding and casually launched a footy over the Mirrool silos, has become one of the region’s most gloriously unhinged (and beloved) annual traditions.

These days, it’s less a “backyard dare” and more a country, family-fun affair. We’re talking jumping castles, mini train rides, slushies, fairy floss and ice cream vans for the small humans. Plus, kids’ football and netball comps with cash and prizes, tug-of-war showdowns, a gumboot throwing comp (naturally) and a fiercely contested ladies’ netball shoot-off.

For the grown-ups? An all-day BBQ and bar, plenty of sideline commentary and a whole lot of small-town spirit.

It’s chaotic. It’s nostalgic. It’s raising serious funds for charity (over $200k and counting). And it’s exactly the kind of road-trip-worthy Riverina event you didn’t know you needed in your calendar.

Leeton Open Gardens

Peak over the fence at some of Leeton’s most thoughtfully designed, lovingly maintained gardens.

Expect everything from perfectly kept flower beds to creative landscaping and those little details you’ll absolutely try to recreate at home. Wander at your own pace, chat to the garden owners, pick up a few tips (or plants), and make a day of it.

On the lineup:

  • Live music from the Leeton Town Band

  • A plant stall worth budgeting for

  • Complimentary Devonshire morning tea (homemade, of course)

  • CWA lunch available to purchase

The details:
Start at the Leeton Visitor Information Centre (10 Yanco Ave) between 9:30am and 12pm to collect your wristband and map, then follow it from garden to garden (look for the pink gazebos).

Cash only at the gardens for purchases, with EFTPOS available at the Visitor Centre.

Tickets are $25, kids under 18 can come for free.
