Condamine’s claim to fame is the Condamine Bell so it is only fitting that their campdraft be named after it and that the trophy be a bell.

The Condamine ‘Bullfrog’ cowbell was invented by a Condamine local blacksmith named Samuel William Jones in 1867-68. It was made from either a cross cut saw or pit saw and was tied around the neck of cattle & bullocks so that stockmen could establish their location by the distance of the sound, up to 11.2 km away. Great for the stockmen, not so much for the cattle as it apparently made them deaf.

It is an extremely coveted trophy, as the recipient is the only one in the running for the Triple Crown Bonus in the year of the win.
