Peterborough Ute, Truck and Automotive Shows

03/01/2026

To our loyal followers and Country Ute Round Up participants,

It is with a heavy heart that I announce the cancellation of this year's Peterborough Ute Muster/Peterborough Country Ute Round Up, held in conjunction with the Peterborough S.A. Rodeo. After 21 years, including the last 11 musters under my guidance, we have made the difficult decision to discontinue the event.

I would like to acknowledge the previous organisers, Quinton Kessner and Brad Locky Lock , for laying the foundation for the event.
I also appreciate the support of the Peterborough Rodeo Committee thank you for allowing us to have our muster as part over your event.
Thank you to our sponsors, in particular Peterborough Home Hardware and Willangi Bush Escapes who have supported the event the last 11yrs by supplying the prizes and trophies and Peterborough Newsagency who always did an amazing job of the 2nd place ribbons.

To the muster committee though most have moved on, leaving just myself and Chrispy (and few silent members) thank you for your support and helping me get started when I took over from Locky.
To Karen and Jaymi for their guidance and support, particularly in the weeks leading up to the event each year when I was in meltdown mode, you kept me level-headed, I extend my thanks and gratitude.
I also appreciate the patience and understanding of my family, particularly Mum, Dad, and my brother from another mother Chrispy. I am sorry for all the bad moods, bitching and unrealistic requests and thank you for sticking by me.

To our loyal supporters, I want to thank you for your enthusiasm and generosity, which has enabled us to raise over $20,000 for Variety SA, make donations to MND and support the "Do it for Dolly" movement, and that is just in the last 11yrs since I took over.
Although this marks the end of the Peterborough Ute Muster, I am excited to invite you to the Peterborough Ute, Truck and Auto Show on Easter Sunday, I hope to see you there, what this page in the coming weeks for more info and a the Events Page.

If you are interested in sponsorship opportunities or would like to book a stall, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Thank you again for your support.

Cheers for now,
Phil (and Chrispy)

Sorry for the delay get this post done I have been flat out since The Rodeo and Ute Muster.
I want to say a massive thank you to those that came to the Peterborough Rodeo and Ute Muster. Thank you Adam at Kwik Kopy Adelaide for the Sticker, Elders Peterborough for the Eartags, Peterborough Newsagency for the Ribbons and Willangi Bush Escapes for allowing to do all my printing on you printer, paper and using your ink.
And of course My Helpers and SA Variety Bash - Team Avengers: Christian , Anthony and Tracey.
Entrants, Sponsors and Helpers are all very important to the success of an event like this, I couldn't do it with any one of these elements.

This brings me to a very serious and important question I have to the entrants, How did I go from 25 entrants down to 5? What did I do wrong, I have tried the for the last 2 weeks to work it but I can so please help me help you, was it the timing of the event, the heat, was because I put it inside the complex again or what, tell me what kept you away this year?
With just 3yrs (as far as anyone can work out) to go till the 21st Birthday of the Ute Muster, I don't want to pull the pin but 5 entrants is not viable.
Again Please Help me, but be nice I am not a robot, I have feelings, I work hard to make this work for you and for Variety SA.
Thank you for your support everyone.
