Woo big numbers! Probably helped that the weather was mint this year. Nice to see something positive for a change.

Wow 132k visitors but how many were actual farmers vs city folk having a day out? Bet half were just there for the food trucks.

Cameron Diaz2026-06-16T23:05:47.000Z

the food trucks are bloody expensive too. $15 for a soggy burger nah mate.

nah get stuffed. Fieldays brings in heaps for the local economy. You're just a grumpy bugger.

Bloody good turnout. Better than sitting on the couch watching the govt stuff everything up. Good on the organisers.

So we can afford to have thousands of people mill around looking at tractors but can't fund our hospitals properly. Priorities.

Ah Fieldays, the highlight of the year for my husband. He came back with a new chainsaw and a hat. Happy days.

typical farmers whinging about everything except their own subsidies

Jordan Bell2026-06-17T00:14:47.000Z

Jordan Bell2026-06-17T00:45:47.000Z

132k is mad. I remember when it was just a few blokes and some sheep. Times change I guess.
