Since its inception in 1983 Westech has earned a solid reputation amongst exhibitors and visitors alike as one of the best of its type. Known by our return visitors and exhibitors as the friendly field days, its reputation for providing an extensive array of equipment, product and information specific to the grazing industry and remote area living is unquestioned by the increasing number of exhibitors and visitors to the event.
The exhibitors enjoy good exposure to a receptive audience and visitors are treated to a smorgasbord of relevant and useful technology and products.
The event is held every three years which contributes significantly to its success, allowing for advances in rural technology and to maintain on-going interest and participation from exhibitors and its growing audience.
We look forward to renewing old friendships and welcoming new exhibitors and visitors to this great part of Central Western Queensland and to experience our friendly relaxed country atmosphere at the Westech Field Days once again.
