Australia’s own World Champion from Oxley

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Australia’s own World Champion from Oxley

I am thrilled to share the news that North East Victoria’s own Tup Forge has been crowned the World Champion Women’s Ranch Bronc Rider, an outstanding achievement for a young woman from our very own backyard.

Representing Australia on the international stage, Tup has done our region and our country proud. Hailing from a cattle farming family in Oxley, her journey from the paddocks of North East Victoria to the world arena is a story of courage, grit and raw talent.

Tup’s triumph is not only a personal milestone, it’s a win for regional Australia, for women in sport, and for every young person with big dreams and country roots.

We now have an Australian-bred World Champion whose achievements will inspire many others to follow in her footsteps. On behalf of our community, I extend my heartfelt congratulations to Tup and thank her for representing us with such pride and strength.
