Australian Sheep and Wool Show in-person ‘Meet Up’: 18th July 2026, Bendigo Showgrounds
Come say hi!
Come meet us at @sheepshow wrapped #HeadToToe in your Bendigo Projects!
We would love to see as many of you as possible for a group meet up at Sheep Show on Saturday 18th July, at 1.45 for a 2 pm group photo!
The meeting point is just inside the main entrance gate, near the donut van!
We had a blast last year and we are sure this year’s meet up will be just as fun.
