The Dungog Agricultural and Horticultural Association is passionate about educating people of all ages about agriculture and they’re revitalising their Show to reflect this.
Learning exhibits tell the story of agriculture to both urban and rural people. They believe it is important that locals and visitors understand the significance of agriculture to the economy and appreciate the innovation, efficiency, and technology that supports it.
The Dungog Show promotes the involvement of youth in shows by holding competitions for young people and by encouraging the participation of young people in show societies and agricultural youth groups.
Youth are encouraged to participate in the livestock judging competitions culminating at the State Finals for winners in Sydney at Easter.

For the very first time in Dungog, don’t miss this spectacular tribute.
A spectacular tribute to one of the best bands of all time with one of the best songlists on the planet and a show honed from over 500 performances. The songs are perfect, the harmonies are spot on, the musicianship is superb and BEST OF ALL, you’ll know every song & every word. From ‘Chains, to Everywhere, You Make Lovin Fun, Dreams, Landslide, Songbird, Go Your Own Way, Dont Stop, Tusk, Gypsy, Sara, Little Lies, Seven Wonders, & more, its a night of memories, not stop fun, dancing and more. You’ll fall in love with the songs for the first time or for yet another time. The songs are some of the finest ever written from some of the greatest albums of all time.
The band began life as Dreams. As the show evolved, so did the name, becoming Starshine—but the legacy lives on. Nearly two years on the fervour is just as passionate and NOW with a legion of nearly 30k followers they are taking it all over the country.
