IN our shearing and wool handling competitions this year, many volunteers were involved in performing roles such as judging, time-keeping, wool handling, sheep handling, emceeing, score keeping, and more.
Some 61 competitors were involved, with shearers and wool handlers coming from right across Victoria and New South Wales, as well as Queensland and Western Australia.
It was held at a historic location, under the Moreton Bay Figs.
There was a good crowd this year, with successful modifications to the board to accommodate wool handling competition.
