Brand new for 2026, the Outback Arena is a showcase of high-octane dog sports presented in a rural, showring environment, reminiscent of Queensland’s regional and rural showgrounds. Pared back and -paced-up the Outback Arena is a platform for those athletic feats that simply can’t be contained indoors. Be prepared for a lot of fast, LOUD fun!

Our inaugural schedule includes ever-popular Flyball, Sledding and the Australian debut of Scurry Dog, a competitive, UK export using gun dog skills in a fun sport for pet dogs. More sports are expected to be added to the schedule over the coming weeks.

Watch talented dogs and their handlers working in perfect sync as they take on timed courses that test speed, focus and precision. Each demonstration highlights the strong bond between dog and handler, delivering thrilling entertainment while showcasing real-world ability and purpose-driven training.
