Cooma Show has served as a focal point for families and farmers

For 150 years, the Cooma Show has served as a focal point for families and farmers, highlighting the agricultural prowess and talent of the local Monaro region while celebrating the resilience and strength of its rural communities.

The Governor-General marked the occasion of the 150th Cooma Show by spending the day with generations of Australians who cherish agricultural traditions, as well as with young individuals committed to enhancing their communities and newcomers who enrich the region's diverse culture.

Events such as the Cooma Show are essential for fostering connections among rural towns, bolstering local economies, and honoring the diligent individuals who support Australia's agricultural sectors.

We extend our sincere gratitude to Robert Hain, President of the Cooma Pastoral and Agricultural Association, and Andrew Hain, Patron of the Association, for allowing us to commemorate this significant milestone with the community and to congratulate the recipients of the Champion Fleece, Champion Dahlia, and Champion Ram awards.
