One of our most popular and entertaining events returns — and this year, we’re making it bigger, better, and full of family fun!
Picture this:
A RIV Heli chopper hovering above the BRCC oval… filled with hundreds of bright rubber duckies;
And then — whoosh! — they all plummet towards the target below!
Whichever lucky ducky lands on (or closest to) the bullseye will score its owner the $1,500 major cash prize! Along with 3 x minor prizes of $100 each.
Pick your duck and join the fun!
🐥 $20 Ducky Ticket – Get your very own ducky dropped from the RIV helicopter for a shot at the $1,500 major prize!
🐥 $40 Ducky Ticket – Go all in! You’ll get a ducky in the drop plus lunch and 4 drink tickets (1 per beer/wine or 2 per spirit).
🐥 $90 Ducky - Family Ticket (2a+2c) - Bring the kids and enjoy the fun! You get 4 ducky's (4 x chances to win the $1,500), lunch for the family and a drink each.
Feeling lucky? Buy more duckies for extra chances to win! Our judges will carefully watch the drop to determine which duck lands on or nearest the target to claim the $1,500 major prize. Duckies that land on or near one of three outer markers will each pocket a spot prize — so there are plenty of chances to win!
But that’s not all — the day will be packed with games, live music, fun activities, and bonus giveaways. So, round up your teammates, family, and friends, and join us for an unforgettable day at the 2026 Ballarat-Redan Rubber Ducky Drop! 🦆✨
