Ute muster

Coming up on today's show, Paul Bennett.

We talk with him about his air show at the Denny Ute Muster and his fantastic world-class biplane that's coming up.

Plus also Edward River Council's Ashley Hall.

We speak with him about his meeting with the Minister for Environment and Water, Murray Watt.

I just will shout out to Chairman Russell Tate, who's announced he's going to retire.

He's done an amazing job.

When he took over, that was in pretty dire straits at the Ute Muster.

But him and Vicky have done an amazing job.

Yeah.

Well, they might just be off to the Ute Muster as well next weekend, TJ.

In the under...

In the res- reserves, Kangatin they did it quite easy against Moama.

Oh, wasn't that a sight? Yeah, unbelievable.

No, credit to the Denny Chamber and the Ute Muster team and our council for putting that on.

I think it just brings the whole town into it and gets them involved and gets some more people into town.

And really starts a whole week.

Credit to everyone involved there.

Absolutely.

Hey, speaking of the Ute Muster, there is a photo exhibition happening at the Pepin Heritage Centre celebrating the Ute Muster, Ash.

There is.

The New South Wales town of Deniliquin has come alive for the Deni Ute Muster, celebrating all things country.

Let's go live to our very own born and bred Deni girl, Hope Wilson, who is there this morning.

Hope, apart from, uh, catching up with all your schoolmates there, it's gonna be a jam-packed weekend for everyone else, too.

[upbeat country music] Oh, it certainly is, Hugh.

And yes, I have already done that this morning, too.

More than 20,000 people here at the Ute Muster site this weekend.

It might be hard to believe it right now.

Most are sleeping at some campsites, which are very muddy.

I think people will see that.

I'm about to celebrate the Deni Ute Muster, so I need this to be as fast as possible.

Your winner or loser of the week, Linda, who stood out for you?

Look, I, I mean, I love the Deni Ute Muster, so don't get me wrong about that.

But, um, I, I do wanna say-

[laughs]

Have a great weekend.

Hopefully it's a long one where you are around the country.

So it's really just extending the whole week now.

So it's nearly a week kind of celebration of the Ute Muster.

So it's a fantastic initiative.

And, of course, the Ute Muster is going to be sensational.

Tones and I and, yeah, plenty of other people.

Are you

And we're really starting to see the caravans be full for that extra week.

We'll see all the businesses, see that foot traffic for that extra week.

She's, you know, doing this thing with Macklemore in the United States.

And that was also... a furphy, like a smokescreen on her part because on the Saturday night before the grand final, next Saturday night, she's playing at the Daniloquin Ute Muster.

Where?

Daniloquin Ute Muster down in the River

Reef.

Oh, come on.
