More than 130 people in 65 Bushtracker caravans have arrived in Forbes as part of their annual muster which sees them visit different towns across the country each year.
The members of the Bushtracker Owners Group arrived in Forbes on Thursday, September 12 and will be exploring Forbes and surrounding towns until Sunday, September 22.
They've got a packed schedule, from watching Kevin Howell's yard dogs at work at Eugowra to visiting local attractions.
Bushtracker Owners Group president Bill Pahl says the group is a social group of caravaners who meet annually in different towns around Australia annually, usually deciding to go to a town that may have recently seen a hard time to help inject outside money into the region.
Mr Pahl said they do this by buying locally wherever they can and they auction off items of donations from their sponsors with the funds raised going to local organisations and charities.
