Windorah International Yabby Races

Every year since 1998 Windorah hosts the Windorah International Yabby Races on the street outside the hotel. In each race, up to 10 yabbies are placed in the centre of a ring; the winner is the first yabby to reach the perimeter of the ring, a distance of 2 metres (6 feet 7 inches). It is held on the Wednesday before the Birdsville Races (first weekend in September).
