Deniliquin Ute Muster ready for another Guinness World Record
August 21, 2009 by Matt Brogan
When the Deniliquin Ute Muster first claimed the Guinness World Records title for the largest parade of legally registered utes (2839 to be exact) in the world back in 1999 a challenge was set in place that the event has tried to better every year since.
Since then the Ute Muster has set new heights for the record with last year’s event seeing over 7000 utes, including the CarAdvice sponsored FPV F6, attend.
Well this year the organisers have announced yet another crack at the title with the aim of a five figure record firmly in thier sites.
Set to take place on October 4 this year the record attempt is calling on ute owners from Australia and New Zealand
“We are calling all ute lovers to make the pilgrimage to Deni this year and be part of the Guinness World Record attempt.” said John Harvie, Festival Director
Official Guinness World Records representative, Chris Sheedy will be present to judge the attempt.
“Since 1999 the name ‘Deniliquin’ has been synonymous with utes and with record breaking,” Mr Sheedy said. “As Australia’s Guinness World Records representative I’m thrilled to have been invited this year to witness such an iconic record being smashed.”
The Festival is a celebration of all things Australian, bringing together the best of the best for two days of top class entertainment for all ages including extreme sports action, competitions and the cream of Oz music both days and nights headlining Powderfinger along with The Angels, Troy Cassar – Daley and a swag load more.
Set on the flattest open plains on earth the site includes a huge Family camping area that caters for sedans, caravans, camper trailers and mobile homes so if you don’t have a ute – don’t despair, everyone can still be part of this national iconic event.

I’m glad to see the FPV is used in this. All too often only Holdens are referred to as ‘Aussie’ when Ford is just as Australian. It annoys me that Ford doesn’t promote it’s cars like it should: whereas Holden doesn’t stop. It was a shame that Jeremy only tested HSV’s on Top Gear: I’m sure he would have preferred the louder Boss engine. But if Ford doesn’t do exports, than Ford doesn’t get recognised. I know a few people overseas who know Holden from the G8 and the Monaro, but had no idea Ford had an Australian division!
Take the Jumbuck…
Baddass says: Exactly
it’s a great event for deni,a small town that hasn’t been the same since water allocations for the rice crops were stopped.
memo to lowes,pls order another load of blue singlets for the weekend.to all the grog shops,stock up….
Badass – I think the reason why People O/S know about Holden but they don’t know about Ford-Oz could be because years ago Detroit was scared that if they let cars from overseas into the US it would show how inferior their Sedans are.
That was until Bob Lutz saw what potential Holden had to offer.. Hopefully Mulally will see the same with Ford-Oz.
BTW: J&H – Rice is something that we should not be growing in Australia nor is cotton.
henry,
will agree about the cotton(pesticides etc).but don’t go there with water allications.this political problem is not going away any time soon.there is something seriously wrong with this country when the gov’t of the day makes it more profitable for farmers to sell their water than to actually grow something.hey,you shop at woolies/coles too,figure it out(or are you just a city slicker who winges at all the dust storms)…
Love the Deni Muster 2008 was great. Would love to be in the worlds longest ute convoy this year. All the best. Cav :-)
