25.01.2022 While some race meets were abandoned this year thanks to COVID-19, there's been a recent rush of activity at the Talmoi race track, north of Moree. A rare chan...ce to revitalising a long-held tradition that's been suspended through the drought. When times are good, the community donates grain, chemicals, machinery and time to plant, nuture and harvest the race course - with the money going back into the club for the annual Talmoi Picnic Races. This year, the man tasked with harvesting the wheat was Tom Boyle.

19.01.2022 We’re almost at the starting line now, and none of this would be possible without our generous sponsors. A huge thank you to our Bronze sponsors - our communities are off to a racing start thanks to you!

17.01.2022 Unfortunately due to government restrictions the Talmoi Picnic Races won’t be going ahead tomorrow. We are excited to see you all next year for a big day of fun. Bring on June 2021

17.01.2022 We've always known what an awesome little place Garah is, the people, the lifestyle, the agricultural opportunity - now the whole of Australia does too! Thanks Landline for venturing out to our little neck of the woods - looks like the future of the region is in safe hands! www.abc.net.au//baby-boom:-the-baby-boom-bringin/11334432

12.01.2022 This is us racing to the Talmoi gate today! The day we've all been waiting for is finally here Gates open around 12.30 with the band playing well into the evening - we can't wait to see you all for a fabulous day of racing and fun.

11.01.2022 Bush racing fun doesn't have to end just because Talmoi is over! This Saturday marks the annual Mungindi Races - another great excuse to frock up and head west! There is a bus from Moree, returning by 7pm, with Garah punters able to jump on also - cost is $30 and phone The Royal Hotel, Moree to book. And pre-purchase your entry ticket online - you could win four free drink tickets - giddy up! All the best to the committee of this great race day, it's going to be a cracker!
