RV Friendlies & Events

Set against the sweeping coastline of Western Australia’s Coral Coast, the Big Sky Readers and Writers Festival transforms Geraldton into a vibrant hub of storytelling, creativity and culture each October. Visitors can experience inspiring author talks, engaging panel discussions and interactive workshops while exploring Geraldton’s cafés, foreshore precinct and historic streets. With spring sunshine, ocean views and a welcoming regional atmosphere, the festival offers the perfect excuse for a cultural getaway. Pair a weekend of books and ideas with coastal walks, fresh Mid West seafood and day trips to nearby natural attractions — making Big Sky not just a literary event, but a memorable regional escape under WA’s wide open skies.

The Dowerin Machinery Field Days is one of Western Australia’s largest and longest-running agricultural events, held each August in the Wheatbelt town of Dowerin. It brings together farmers, industry leaders, and the public to explore the latest in farm machinery, technology, and agribusiness. Alongside the big equipment displays, the event features livestock exhibits, demonstrations, lifestyle and leisure stalls, educational displays, and services for rural communities. Attracting thousands of visitors and hundreds of exhibitors, the Field Days are both a major showcase for innovation in agriculture and a community-driven event that supports local projects.

Date: 8-9/9/26

The Barcaldine Westech Field Day committee invites you to join us on 8-9 September 2026 to continue our tradition of providing an action packed two full days of covering the interest of all ages.

Since its inception in 1983 Westech has earned a solid reputation amongst exhibitors and visitors alike as one of the best of its type. Known by our return visitors and exhibitors as the friendly field days, its reputation for providing an extensive array of equipment, product and information specific to the grazing industry and remote area living is unquestioned by the increasing number of exhibitors and visitors to the event.

The exhibitors enjoy good exposure to a receptive audience and visitors are treated to a smorgasbord of relevant and useful technology and products.

The event is held every three years which contributes significantly to its success, allowing for advances in rural technology and to maintain on-going interest and participation from exhibitors and its growing audience.

We look forward to renewing old friendships and welcoming new exhibitors and visitors to this great part of Central Western Queensland and to experience our friendly relaxed country atmosphere at the Westech Field Days once again.
