A massive thank you to the entire BRH crew for everything you put in over the Bowen River Rodeo weekend. 🐂

The long hours, the early starts, the never-ending lines at the bar — you handled it all with a smile and didn’t miss a beat. Behind every great rodeo is a team working flat out behind the scenes, and ours is second to none.

To everyone who pulled a shift, lent a hand, or stepped up when things got busy — we couldn’t have done it without you. You’re the heart of this place, and the weekend was a cracker because of you.

Thank you from management of Apex Pubs & Hotels - Platinum sponsor of Bowen River Rodeo - 2026

🔧 IMPORTANT SERVICE UPDATE – BRH
Hi everyone, we wanted to give you all a quick heads-up about what's happening at the BRH today.

Due to some scheduled electrical maintenance works taking place on site, we unfortunately have to make a few temporary changes to our service today. We know this may be a little inconvenient, and we really appreciate your patience and understanding while the team gets everything sorted safely.

Here's what to expect:

❌ No lunch service today — the kitchen will be closed during the maintenance window.
✅ Drinks will still be served as usual, so feel free to pop in for a cold one, or a catch-up at the bar.
🍽️ Dinner service will be back on this evening as normal — our cooks will be ready to look after you.
💵 Please note: CASH ONLY during this time.

Our EFTPOS machines won't be running while the power is off, so please come prepared with cash if you're planning to pop in for a drink.

We're sorry for any inconvenience this may cause and thank you for bearing with us while these essential works are completed. It's all part of keeping the BRH running smoothly for you.

Thanks so much for your continued support — we look forward to seeing you at the bar this arvo and over dinner tonight! 🍺🍷🍽️
