Tossing the Caber

Taken at the Paeroa Highland Games on Saturday. The caber is 19½ ft (5.6m) long and weighs 175 lbs (79kg). Very impressive watching the men try to run with it and then toss it in the air. They seemed to have to toss it high enough that it actually does a full flip - only a couple of the men managed it.
