Information
Marrabel is the place to be at Rodeo time, It was here in 1953 and 1954 that Alan Woods was the rider to stay the 10 seconds aboard Curio,
The name Curio was by now a national one. Around distant campfires, in busy shearing sheds and wherever ringers and rough-riders gathered, her name became a byword. Increasing crowds flocked to Marrabel to see this rugged, tempestuous ball of fury in full cry. Curio passed on in 1970. You can read the full story at the Marrabel Rodeo Website.
