Camping Overnight

Everyone is welcome to camp overnight on the Friday/Saturday/Sunday night of the sheep races on our beautiful and spacious golf course.  The porta-loos will be available for campers on all nights.  Here are some tips for those thinking about camping:

- The Caragabal Pub will be open on Friday night for beverages and a meal - call ahead to book in 02 6347 5336

- You will need your own water and there is no electricity available. 

- Campfires are permitted. 

- No pets unless they can be secured in your campsite for the duration (we don't want to spook the sheep!)

- There is plenty of space, so camp away from others and be courteous to other campers. 

- This is a family event, not a B&S... so please act accordingly. 

 

How to get involved on the day:

Buy a sweep ticket

For only $2 you can have your own part of the action.  Here’s how it works:

1. In the time leading up to a race, buy a $2 sweep ticket from our roving sellers.

2. Just before the race, if your name is drawn out you become the Sweep Owner of a sheep.

3. If your sheep comes 1st or 2nd you get the same prize money as the real sheep owner!  ($50 for 1st and $30 for 2nd)

4. You don’t get to keep your sheep for the final, BUT, you can buy sweep tickets for the final (still for $2), which will give you a chance to win $500 prize money!

 

 

Buy a Sheep in the Auctions

Before each race we will auction off all of the sheep.  If you purchase a sheep it becomes yours for that race AND THE FINAL (if it makes it).  This means that by purchasing a sheep you have the chance to win $500 prize money in the final and $50 in its race.

Please Note: You don’t get to keep the sheep.
