The Julia Creek Dirt n Dust Festival Committee would like to extend a sincere thank you to the Julia Creek Turf Club for their partnership and support throughout the Multicom Resources 110th Anniversary Artesian Express Races 2026.

Celebrating 110 years of racing in Julia Creek was a remarkable achievement, and we were proud to work alongside the Turf Club to help deliver such a memorable day for locals and visitors alike.

While our committees operate independently, events like these highlight the strength of our community and what can be achieved when local organisations come together to create something special.

The Julia Creek Turf Club plays an important role in preserving the rich racing history of our town while continuing to provide an event that attracts competitors, spectators and visitors from across the region.

Thank you to the committee, volunteers, sponsors, jockeys, trainers and everyone involved in making the day such a success.

We look forward to continuing this partnership and celebrating many more milestones together in the years ahead.

🤠🏇🖤

Every serious media team needs reliable transport... and apparently ours comes with a driver, suspension and a whole lot more speed than walking. 😆
Caught in the wild at the Julia Creek Dirt n Dust Festival 2026, the media crew were spotted riding in style thanks to the legends at Outer Limits Adventure Fitness
Long lenses, cameras at the ready, and not a single concern for fuel efficiency. Just a bunch of photographers trying to be in three places at once while looking far more glamorous than the reality of dust, early mornings and thousands of photos.
A huge thank you to Outer Limits Adventure Fitness for keeping us mobile and making sure we didn't wear out our boots before the festival was over and for manning the finish line camera in case we didn't make it back🤣and for snapping us when we did get there.😁

❤️ THANK YOU VOLUNTEERS ❤️

To every volunteer who gave their time, energy and enthusiasm to help make the 2026 Julia Creek Dirt n Dust Festival a success — thank you.

From setting up and packing down, working gates, helping with ticketing, camping, buses, markets, the rodeo, races, adventure run and everything in between, your contribution does not go unnoticed.

This event simply would not be possible without the incredible people who step up year after year to support our community and help bring Dirt n Dust to life.

Thank you for helping us celebrate 30 years of Dirt n Dust and for creating an unforgettable experience for the thousands of visitors who joined us in Julia Creek.

We are incredibly grateful for each and every one of you. 🤠👏
