The Harvey Dickson Rodeo was held in Boyup Brook on Friday and Saturday, attracting thousands of people from across the country.
Just before the events started on Saturday afternoon, a moment’s silence was held to honour Rose Dickson, the wife of Harvey Dickson, who died a week before the 2017 rodeo.
Saturday’s rodeo events included the open bull ride, the novice bull ride, steer wrestling, steer undercoating and team roping.
