It’s always a busy day on the calendar, but based on last year’s sell-out success, we expect it will be all hands on deck from early in the morning.
Tickets officially go on sale at 11am, but we expect they’ll have to ready themselves for the onslaught first.
The Muster team are committed to keeping the Deni Ute Muster accessible for all and ticket prices have remained unchanged since 2023, but a $3.50 booking fee is now included in the displayed ticket price.
Other important changes are as follows include that junior tickets (13–17 years) must now be purchased with an accompanying adult ticket to support safety and compliance requirements, and a $10 booking and administration fee is applied to under-13 tickets.

Bonus ticket day
With only 10 days left until the 'Think B4U Click this Christmas' major prize is drawn, you must take every opportunity to earn extra tickets.
So, we’re giving you one last bonus tickets day.
For tomorrow only - Wednesday, December 10 - you’ll earn two tickets for every $20 spent at a participating business (see page 10), up to $200 spent.
The final prize up for grabs is valued at $5000 - awarded as half cash and half Deni Business Chamber gift cards.
It will be drawn at the Edward River Community Christmas Party & Carols evening in the Deniliquin Waring Gardens on Friday, December 19.
Tickets can be earned right up until the final draw. You’ll find an entry box at participating stories, or place your entry straight in the barrel at Dahlsens Mitre 10.
Free offer popular
Locals took up Edward River Council’s offer of a free waste weekend with gusto at the weekend.
ERC residents could take eligible materials to the Deni waste depot for free on both Saturday and Sunday.
PTee correspondents who live in north Deniliquin noted a significant increase in traffic up and down Hay Rd on both days.
One took advantage of the free waste offer themselves on Sunday, and was told by staff they were number 215 for the day - and it was 10 minutes before the site closed at 1pm.
Finding Granny a hit
More than 30 people attended the launch of Fiona Waters’ book Finding Granny at the Edward River library in Deniliquin on Friday, half of them students.
They gathered to hear Fiona read from the book, which she wrote 18 years ago to explain her mother Cathy Cleary’s battle with depression to her own children.
Fiona was joined by the book’s illustrator - her mother-in-law and Deniliquin artist Esther Waters - for the launch.
They both gladly signed copies purchased on the day.
Fiona also kindly signed a copy of her book last week for the Pastoral Times to giveaway.
The winner was Trevor David.
