If you want to see real pain. Despard is going loooong!
He’s driven a Drag car over a quarter mile at 260+kmh. He abandoned a life as a fast bowler to become an Olympic sprinter. He’s won the Stawell Gift. He’s won Devonport Gift. He was the youngest Burnie Gift winner. ... ever!!! He’s an Australian Record Holder in the 4x100 relay And Tasmanian Record Holder in the 200. What’s next? Well, he’s going loooong...ish. He’ll be running the 400 at Devonport. It doesn’t sound like much to some of us... but that’s double his pet dis

Forget the kids. Scream at some adults for a change!
I’ve been looking at this image for nearly three years and I only just noticed the guy in the background. He sums up what makes Rosebery Carnival truly different. The running will be riveting! The cycling, cyclonic! The chopping will be chaotic! And the Rock Drilling will be explosive!!! Cover your ears and hold onto your seats... or the fence! See Tassie's best take on overseas stars that have made the trip to Rosebery because... it’s unbelievable! Carney (the American) is b

No Record is safe! She's 14!
In the space of three weeks, then 13-year-old, Jayla Olm was breaking multiple records at regional and state level. A week after Jayla turned 14, s he smashed, Tassies’s fastest woman, Chelsea Scolyer’s U15 record from 2019 as well as Chelsea’s joint U16 record with Izzy Wing. That was this year! She’s still 14!!!!! No record is safe when Jayla Olm steps out onto the track. There’s more to see. And you can see her step up against her idols. In years to come you’ll be able

There's not a carnival on earth like Rosebery!
He’s been the hero of countless Tassie Christmas Carnivals! He has raced on some of the most magnificent modern velodromes on this planet... and Jame still loves Rosebery!!! Loves it! And he‘s travelling halfway across the globe to be here again. It’ll cost him thousands and a day of flying to be here to put on a show... and all he wants is a crowd there making a noise. He’ll tell you he’s old. He’ll tell the handicapper he’s past it... but he knows how to race... he’s bring

A slow start... then BANG!!!
Suddenly we've had a flood of stars signing up to entertain! Elections. Disruption. Delays. A la te start. Now this! We have stars with medals and sashes... that's expected, but we've attracted a mix of entertainers that are here to do more than just win. Jame Carney is back - "too old to have an impact", he says, but he's bringing an army of support. Watch out!!! Young guns on foot and on bikes, desperate to make a name for themselves and collect some established scalps. T
