18.01.2022 Boggabri has had some much needed rain in the last week and things are starting to look very nice and green, Coxs Creek is running, the Namoi River is running, and the cat head are well and truly taking off.

Our program is filling up fast and we cant wait to share some very exciting things with you all in the coming weeks... so if you haven't already head over to our website and book your site, your not going to want to miss this!

17.01.2022 I’m going to miss the hot scones most, so today we have baked some using the scone recipe from the Drovers Campfire Cookbook. What are you going to miss most about not being able to come to the Drovers Campfire this year? If you don’t have a Drovers Campfire Cookbook and would like one send me a message

17.01.2022 We have some more storm activity hanging around Boggabri this afternoon! Have you had any rain at your place lately?

16.01.2022 UPDATE: WOW this has gone crazy! We have sold out of cookbooks overnight! We are currently in the process of trying to get some more printed so if you would still like a book let me know!

So if you would like one of these little beauties send us and message and we will arrange one for you! ... We can’t wait to see what your creations. See more

13.01.2022 From everyone at Drovers Campfire we wish you a very Merry Christmas and a safe and happy new year!

13.01.2022 We are very lucky to have secured Matt Hale Comedy Hypnotist for Drovers Campfire in 2020... we can’t wait!! @hypnohale Matt Hale - Hypnotist/Speaker

12.01.2022 What a weird time it is for us all! Today should be the last Sunday before Drovers for us as a committee that would mean a lot of last minute organising and preparation, the final allocation of campsites, and the final panic, making sure everything is as perfect as can possibly be before all our campers start arriving tomorrow. It’s not only different for us, it is also very different for you. Normally you would be on the road heading to our beautiful town getting ready... to meet up with friends old and new. But instead we are all staying at home to protect ourselves and each other. We hope you are enjoying isolation as much as you can, and we can’t wait until this is all over so we can all get out and about again.

11.01.2022 Ron does an amazing job a Drovers allocating everyone’s site number and making sure everyone finds their site! Well done Ron!

09.01.2022 We appreciate our volunteers every week, but this week we want to say a special thank you to all of our volunteers, without volunteers the Drovers Campfire, along with many other community events wouldn’t happen. Thank you! We appreciate everything you give up so you can volunteer to help us!

09.01.2022 In just 49 days this quiet little showground will be full of caravans and campers and we can’t wait. Have you booked your site yet? http://www.droverscampfire.com.au/Registrations

09.01.2022 Thank you! From the bottom of our hearts... Today should have been Day 1 of the 2020 Drover Campfire, but instead of being down in the dumps about not being together, we are on cloud 9, and it’s all because of you! Because of you we have managed to sell over 260 cookbooks in 3 days and there is no sign of it slowing down anytime soon! I have had to call the printer 3 times to increase our order and have bought the post office out of envelopes! To say we are overwhelmed is a...n understatement! We are now working very hard to get our merchandise up on our website, with a few brand new items for sale too. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!

09.01.2022 The men from The Boggabri Tractor Shed have been busy making hay at the Showground using some of the tractors that we see in the Antique Machinery Parade at the Drovers Campfire.

08.01.2022 You’re not going to miss us now, look at our brand new signs that were installed this morning. Thanks to Craig and his team at Sign Print Stitch

07.01.2022 At Boggabri Drovers Campfire we put our visitors first and today is no different. We regret to advise that due to the recent announcement from the government advising against non-essential gatherings of more than 500 people, the Drovers Campfire Committee has this afternoon made the decision to cancel the 2020 Drovers Campfire. We are disappointed to have to take this step but your health is our priority and we look forward to seeing you in 2021!

05.01.2022 What a difference a week makes! The Namoi River near Boggabri is flowing for the first time in 10 months. Boggabri district has had storm rain varying from 4-12... inches. The rain has seen cattle prices improve remarkably over the past 2 weeks. Export cows are up 45 cents per kg, export heifers up 52 cents, export steers up 32 cents, heifer yearlings up 52 cents and steer yearlings up 40 cents.

04.01.2022 Put your hand up if your missing the campfire smell from the Drovers Campfire, who am I kidding we all are! Well fear not, I have a solution! This father and son duo from Gunnedah have started The Great Coronavirus Camp Oven Cook Off, so if your missing the campfire smell head over to their page and join in the weekly Sunday Camp Oven Cook Off!
