Dowerin Field Days, 2021

For many years, three major field days focusing on grain growing and pastoral farming have been held annually in Western Australia, at Dowerin, Newdegate and Mingenew.[17]

Field days commenced at Dowerin in September 1965; they claim to be the longest established field days in Western Australia. They are now known as the Dowerin GWN Machinery Field Days, naming rights having been granted to regional television broadcaster Golden West Network (GWN) since 1992.[18]

The Dowerin field days are traditionally held on the last Wednesday and Thursday in August each year. Over the two days, the small Dowerin community swells from a population of a few hundred to over 24,000. In 2015, the number of exhibitors reached 700.[19]

In 1973, a machinery field day was held for the first time in Newdegate. Ten years later, in 1983, the organisers announced that that event would be expanded to cover two days. Also in 1983, the inaugural Mingenew Rural Exposition was held.[17]

As of 2019, the three events, known as the Dowerin GWN7 Machinery Field Days, the Newdegate Machinery Field Days, and the Mingenew Midwest Expo, respectively, were being held over a two day period in August or early September each year.[17]

In 1997, the Margaret River Wine Industry Field Day (now known as the Landmark Wine Industry Field Day) was first held with 80 exhibitors, showcasing the latest viticultural and oenological technology. Since that time it has changed to a biennial event and grown to over 200 exhibitors. It is held in Cowaramup.[20][21]
