"The fashions were stunning as well," Mr Kath said. "The colour that the ladies bring to this lonely little outpost makes the heart sing."

The day's auction raised $9000, which will be put back into the grounds already becoming acclaimed for its improvements, much of it thanks to support from the Diamantina Shire Council.

The Mick Gibson Pastoral Company is now the proud owner of an image of Winx, signed by jockey Hugh Bowman, paying $1900 when it came up for auction.

Supporters travelled from far and wide, including the crew from Oakey Beef.

Mr Kath paid tribute to the club's volunteers, who'd done everything from painting to barwork to make the weekend a success.
