The Harvey Dickson Country Music Centre and Rodeo is just
5 kilometres from the town of Boyup Brook in Western
Australia’s south west. The centre covers about 35 acres and
you can see an assortment of animals, all sculpted out of timber
logs. Three 45ft Guitar Men stand tall and proud, which started out
as trees growing in the wild. Boots, hats, eyes and mouths have
been added along with metal guitars. King Billy is also there on
the horizon, along with the famous Sundown Corral.
Harvey Dickson’s Country Music Centre is just about
the most amazing creation in the Southern Hemisphere. The first
Country Music Show was held in the old barn in 1969; the first show
in the new Entertainment Venue was in 1986; the first Rodeo was
held in 2002.
Wander over to the Bunyip Shed, and gaze at memorabilia
ranging from over 100 years to now. There is the Bushman's Bar, a
stage area, shearing pens, and a life size Elvis by local resident
artist Sandy Chambers. The Country Music Centre also has a
recording studio, a variety of wildlife and a large barbecue
area.
