Almost 200 people travelled to Hill View Station, 170km south of Hughenden, for the 87th staging of the Tower Hill meet to experience the camaraderie only found when those who live in relative isolation get together.

As president of the Tower Hill Race Club, Kim Westcott said, the weekend is a lot more than a race meeting.

"I'm very happy with the way things panned out even though the numbers were a little down on last year, they all had a great time," Mr Westcott said.

Ron Crook-King provided one of the highlights of the weekend with an exceptional display of horse control on Friday evening.

He demonstrated that when you have the confidence of a horse it will respond to almost anything you ask of it.

Apart from some excellent bush racing, the continuous entertainment included a $1000 Nearest-the-Pin golf challenge, a guess the weight of a ram competition, several Calcuttas, a team boat race which would rival the Todd River yacht race and a hoe-down on Friday and Saturday nights.

When the distance between the committee members is taken into account, it was a monumental effort they put in to make the meeting such a success and should be congratulated.

Attention now turns to the Kooroorinya Races to be held on the weekend of May 8-9.
