After last year's controversy, the Wallaby Hill extravaganza continues its tradition of dress-up events with a focus on men's health. Chris Burton, a 2024 Olympic silver medalist, will take over the 'mankini' baton from Shane Rose, who was suspended but cleared of any code of conduct breaches. The event will raise funds for Movember, a charity dedicated to men's mental health, testicular and prostate cancer.

“I’m well and truly over that,” Rose said of last year’s saga. “Unfortunately something else clashes with it , unfortunately I miss out on a bit of fun this year. Maybe next year.”Event organiser and Wallaby Hill owner Alex Townsend has taken the opportunity to leverage the publicity, leaning into mankini-themed merchandise including calendars, tea towels and kitchen aprons to raise money for Movember, a charity that focuses on men’s mental health, testicular and prostate cancer.
Townsend will raffle off the event’s mankini-themed show jump, which she had specially designed, with all proceeds going to Movember.
