Great place to stop and shop

Wow!!!!I reckon this place is very special indeed.
If you are interested in CD's and also DVD's I recommend to stop off in Mareeba just to go and visit Colly Dolly.
She has a rare collection of Indigenous & Australian Artists singing country and also Reggae & world music.If she hasn't got the one you want in stock she will get it for you,no probs.
If you want to get a fair dinkum feel for the Australian outback then I suggest listen to some of the country songs from these aussie country singers.
The shop is such a treasure trove and you will get a warm aussie welcome.
I could have stayed for longer ---- great atmosphere.
Sorry I haven't got a pic but I will get one next time I visit Mareeba.

Rodeo

Fantastic, in a word.
I visited on July 16th 2005.
Cost us AU$20 for a days pass. It does last two days so you can buy passes for both, camping is included in the price, they have shower blocks. It is cheaper if you come after 4pm.
There's beer tents, lots of food stalls, I had curry and rice for AU$5, I bought a t-shirt, kids one for AU$7. There's plenty of soft drinks too.
You can wander around the edges of the arena, go and look at the guys getting ready. There's barrel racing, bare back riding, bucking broncos, kids competitions, ladies competitions, car racing and a parade at the end of the day.
This year (2007) it's on 14-15 July.

We wanted to get out of the rodeo for a bit so headed into the sleepy town and saw signs for a coffee plantation, this was lovely, they had a huge range of coffee they would grind for you, a mini coffee museum about the history of coffee in Australia and in general.
A lovely cafe serving fantastic hot and cold coffees and snacks.
