Australian Level Bucking Bulls Back In Bloomsbury

Next weekend will see its second-ever Mackay and Whitsunday Professional Bull Riders (PBR) event buck to life at The Bull Pit – a brand new $2.6 million dollar venue near Midge Point.

Hosted by Dittmann Bucking Bulls – a family-owned business founded in Bloomsbury by Jason and Kelly Dittmann – the PBR Bull Pit Bull Bash 2022 is bringing some of the country’s top bull riders to north Queensland.

With an express-built venue for the purpose of large-scale bull riding and bucking events, the Bull Pit will host not just extreme talent, but extreme excitement.

Starting at 2.00pm on Saturday, August 27, live bull riding, a DJ throughout the day, food vendors, a side show alley, stall holders, kids jumping castles, slides, and camping will turn the small town into a bustling hive.

It will be the second high-quality rodeo-style event Team Dittmann have run in as many years – although they’ve run smaller Rodeos at the Bloomsbury facility in between - a “world class rodeo facility” crafted as part of Jason’s “long-time dream.”

Owner of Dittmann Bucking Bulls, Jason Dittmann, whose family has cultivated a pedigree in bull breeding as one of the country’s top breeders - said it’s been a revelation to see people flock through the gates, seeing his own famous bulls on home soil.

“That’s been my dream, my goal for a long time. When spectators come to this event, I want them to walk out of these gates saying I’ve been to the best bull rider in Australia. That’s what I’m here for,” Jason said.

“I said, dreams do come true if you put in the hard yards to get it.”

The PBR Event begins at 5.00pm with Mini Bulls and Rising Stars before a start at 7.00pm for the PBR Main Rodeo.
