Kyogle Bull Ride Spectacular 2017

A couple of weeks ago, we went to the Northern Rivers area of NSW to Kyogle. It was their Annual Bull Ride Spectacular and we always find these great events.

Not in the case of the scum of the earth below, they were in it simply for the money, greedy, pathetic people who should be shunned and treated as the pariahs they are. The bastards involved: Dawie Groenewald: he has also been fined for ill…
