Ute Muster Rules and Expectations

1. Definition of a “Ute”: Any vehicle with a tray area, which has a carrying capacity of up to 1 tonne. Tray area can be covered with a canopy or the like.

2. ALL Utes to be judged must be in place no later than 11.am. If you aren’t there by then you don’t get judged.

3. Judging to begin at 12.pm sharp. If the owner is not present the ute will be judged without the owner present. Therefore, it is in your best interest to be present when judging is scheduled to start.


4: Judges decision is final; no dummy spitting will be tolerated.

5. Follow all marshals’ directions.

6. Registration fee is $5 plus entry into the show. This gets entry into Peoples choice and Kids choice one category plus a registration pack. Entry to any other categories is $5 per category.

7: Each ute can only win one category (not including loudest stereo/exhaust, furtherest traveled,or encouragement awards) but can be entered into as many categories as the owner likes. This then puts the winning utes for each category into judging for Grand champion ute.

8: Entry into Ute muster does not mean entry to the Festival. A separate pass must be purchased.

9: SA Road laws will be enforced in and around the showgrounds so behave. Remember that your behaviour is on public display and can reflect badly upon all others taking part in this and future musters.

10: Attendees assume full responsibility & accept full liability for their own health, well-being, safety, physical actions & the result of all their actions.

11: Failure to comply with rules & instructions will result in automatic
disqualification from the competition & forfeiture of entry fee.

12:Any attempt to carry out “Circle Work”, “Key Bangers” and the like will result in immediate expulsion from the Showgrounds with forfeiture of all entry fees

13: BYO prohibited.

Plenty of prizes, trophies and ribbons. This will be run in conjunction with the Moot Yang Gunya Festival incorporating The Mundulla Show so there will be plenty of other entertainment. Also this function is fully catered with a licenced bar. I will update as information becomes available.
