Rain leading into the weekend and Saturday afternoon threatened the event's cancellation but organisers pushed through and the skies cleared for a spectacular night.
And it was much to the delight of fans with cowboys, cowgirls and rev heads of all ages entertained on the edge of the mud-soaked arena.
"Thanks for putting on a great show tonight guys," Casey Fernance posted on Facebook.
"We all loved it."
Joanne Carmichael agreed - "had a fantastic night, loved it".
The performers were all professional with bull riders from the Australian Professional Bull Riders and the motorcyclists from the national FMX series.
There were individual acts from each specialty before a finale combining both disciplines and pyrotechnics.
Bikes and Bulls moves to Toowoomba on February 20.
There are a further 10 shows throughout the year across NSW and Queensland.
It will wrap up at Tamworth on October 29.
