Sarah Abo got more than she bargained for this week when she headed to Queensland.
The Today co-host, 39, headed north with the Channel Nine breakfast show, which was broadcasting from the Mount Isa Rodeo on Friday.
Taking to Instagram to document her rural adventure, it seems that Sarah was certainly keen to get into the spirit of things.
Sarah shared a series of photos that showed her enjoying the rodeo ambiance with her Today co-stars.
At one point during her trip, Sarah decided that she would try her luck on a mechanical bull.
She looked very much the part, sitting on the motor-powered beast in a black Akubra hat, matching jeans and a dark brown T-shirt.

Things appeared to get off to a flying start, with Sarah smiling as she proudly straddled the bull, as co-host Karl Stefanovic watched eagerly in the wings.
In a second photo, Sarah looked to be having some trouble wrangling her bull as she started to slip from its back as Karl smiled with his hand in the air.
It all proved too much for Sarah, with the bull eventually throwing her from its back, her Akubra nowhere to be seen.
The hilarious scene was enough to pique the interest of Karl’s cute-as-a-button daughter Harper, 5, and Today co-star Richard Wilkins, who both joined Karl in watching Sarah’s performance.
Sarah took it all in her stride, though, laughing as she lay back on the inflatable safety floor.
‘My first rodeo. What a time!!’ she captioned the photos.
‘Thanks so much for letting us get our country on, Mount Isa. Legends. (Spot the city slickers haha).’
Karl also took to Instagram to document the trip, sharing a series of family happy snaps with Harper and wife Jasmine, 41.

Looking like he just stepped off the set of Yellowstone, Karl wore a bone-coloured Akubra hat in a series of cute photos he shared to Instagram.
He also wore a sleeveless Driza-Bone jacket over a red and white collared check shirt.
The popular presenter finished his ‘rural’ look with a pair of light-coloured jeans and brown boots.
He looked proud as punch in one photo, which showed him beaming as he stood next to daughter Harper.
Harper looked cute-as-a-button in a pale pink Akubra hat that matched her dad’s perfectly.
Keeping the colour theme going, Harper also wore a pink top and matching tutu, finishing the ensemble with a pair of ornate pink and brown leather cowboy boots.
A second photo showed Karl and Harper cuddling up close to mum Jasmine, who also looked the part.
She wore a black and white chequered shirt and a pair of form-fitting black jeans.
While she preferred to go without an Akubra covering her flaxen locks, Jasmine finished her look with a pair of black and white leather cowboy boots and a pair of gold-framed sunglasses.
The family looked chuffed to be enjoying some family time, with Harper particularly beaming as she cuddled up close to her dad.
A third photo showed Sarah taking Harper out for a spot of retail therapy.
