The format will be the same as in previous years. Cart inspection and registration will start at 7am to ensure the carts have good brakes, safe steering, and weigh less than 75kg. There is a category to suit everyone – entrants from five years of age upwards and billy carts in Traditional, Homegrown, Novelty and Professional categories. In addition there are the Schools Challenge, Tag-Team, Mothers and Celebrity races. A Sports Challenge will see the local sporting clubs compete against each other. The Billy Cart Derby is a wonderful example of a community event with no barriers to entry. It showcases good old-fashioned fun regardless of age or social status. The main focus of the day is not the speed of the entries but family fun for participants and spectators. The Grand Parade is the highlight at 12.30pm and it includes community, sporting and other groups. Expect to see a pipe band, vintage cars, motorbikes, the fire brigade, schools, NBN Big Dog, pony clubs, scouts and a few local heroes. If you wish to enter,
