Tree chopping the old fashioned way.... by robz

Tree chopping the old fashioned way....

The judge starts counting. Each contestant has a handicap. If you're very good at this you have to stand and wait while the others chop climb and climb and start chopping the log at the top.......
Fascinating! Good to show the action in a collage xx

@taffy Thanks Taffy - it's a really exciting sport - one of the MUST DO events at the EKKA. It's a shame they have to have the safety net - it does affect the photos. Cheers and thanks for having a look.

@lyndemc Hi Denise. This is a very Aussie sport. It used to be mainly the professional timber-getters who took part. They had all of the gear needed. Now it's mainly country folk who carry on the tradition - often a whole family will compete in different events. It is a firm favourite at most shows. Really exciting to watch. Thanks for having a look and commenting. Cheers Rob
