Cr Damian Clarke

Damian Clarke is formerly from Kyogle, Darling Downs, and Warwick. He is the Station Manager at Kamaron Downs and enjoys living in Diamantina Shire with his wife Emma and children, and being involved in community events.

Damian and family are heavily involved in the small but mighty Bedourie Bull and Bronco Pit event organised by the dedicated Bedourie Gymkhana Club. This event draws crowds of up to 900 people to the shire and attracts visitors and riders from across Outback Queensland, including Mount Isa, and Charleville, as well as visitors from New South Wales and South Australia, including Marree. The family are also heavily involved in the Bedourie Gymkhana Club and their dedication and work to this club, and support for others, is appreciated by many community members.

Damian grew up as a bull rider and has experienced many rodeo wins. He has been known to say, “No way am I scared in the arena.” Damian demonstrates this demeanour in the Council, where he stands up for matters of concern to the community.
