Mr Cossor said show-goers can look forward to whip cracking, horse tricks and a guitar and song act on the back of 1000kg bull.

“I’m bringing a little bit of the outback down to the city in my biggest and best show yet,” he said.

“Jigsaw the big bull thinks he’s the main attraction but there’s also pigs, dogs and ponies involved.”

“It’s definitely a show for all ages with an opportunity for crowd participation.”
