Troy Dunn wasn’t just one of Australia’s greatest bull riders — he was one of the toughest all-around cowboys the sport has ever seen.

Most fans remember Troy as the legendary Australian who became the first — and still only — Australian cowboy to win the PBR World Championship, capturing the title in 1998 and helping put Australian bull riding on the world map.

But what many people forget is just how incredibly versatile he really was.

Before dominating the PBR, Troy Dunn won the Australian Ba****ck Riding Championship in the early 1990s, proving he was just as dangerous on a ba****ck horse as he was on a bull. And if that wasn’t enough, he could bulldog a steer with the best of them too.

What made Troy especially unique was his unbelievable recovery ability during a ride. Even when a bull pulled him out to the end of his arm rope — the position where most riders lose control — Troy somehow had the strength, balance, and timing to fight his way back into the middle.

Many riders and stock contractors believed his ba****ck riding background gave him that special ability. In ba****ck riding, cowboys constantly battle to recover from being pulled out of position, and Troy mastered it better than almost anyone.

And one of the greatest Australian cowboys to ever nod his head. ❤️🏆

Yesterday, Sunday, March 22, 2026, Impact Church gathered at the Dunn Ranch for a powerful and meaningful day of baptisms, taking time to reflect on what baptism truly represents and why it has been practiced by Christians for thousands of years.

Baptism is a simple yet powerful step of faith - a public declaration that says, “I choose to follow Jesus and begin a new life.”

We celebrated as 15 people were baptised, each story a beautiful reminder of lives being transformed.

A message from Pastor Samantha:

“I sat and shed a few tears today watching all the baptisms take place. Hearing the prayers and declarations spoken over each person, knowing lives have been impacted and will be forever changed in the Lord — not just individuals, but whole families and generations.

I feel so blessed to have witnessed such a special day. Seeing our church come together in support of each person was truly unforgettable. The time we shared together at the Dunns’ home made it even more meaningful. It was simply a wonderful day all around.

We are the Church, and I love our big, growing family!

God is bringing the increase, church!!

Today is a day I’m still in awe of and thanking God for. Hallelujah!”

Thank you again to everyone who came 💛✝️Whitsunday Impact Church
