Welcome

The Central Rodeo Cowboys Association
was formed in 1990 by founding president, Darryl Baulch. It was formed with the intent of servicing rodeo within the more remote areas of Queensland. The Association adopted and modified procedures and practices, from the mainstream Australian Pro Rodeo Association's procedures, that were more appropriate to the smaller regional events.

Since its conception the CRCA have been active in forming and enforcing a code of conduct and event procedures that embrace the Welfare of Animals in rodeo. With a Management Committee who are elected annually from a membership that shares an unrelenting focus on this topic, the CRCA are continually reviewing and amending their policy and procedure to ensure the safety of both competitor and livestock at their events.

Today the CRCA services a massive area that ranges from Monto in the south to Barcaldine in the west, Black River in the north and Yeppoon on the coast. Annually over 36 Rodeos and Bullaramas are now run under the CRCA banner with an impressive Finals event held annually in Rockhampton. The CRCA have permanent administration staff employed in their Rockhampton Head Office that assists many affiliated committees with their events.

The CRCA Holds Rodeos at Apple Tree Creek, Gavial Creek, RGGS, Mt Larcom, Gavial Creek, Proserpine, St Brendans, Capella, Springsure, TCC, Barcaldine, Bowen River, Great Western Hotel, Miriam Vale, Nebo, Biloela, Mt Morgan, Blackwater, Monto, Black River, Clermont, Eidsvold and Rockhampton.
