National Goanna Pulling Championships, Wooli Sunday 8 June 2008

This Sunday, Wooli on the NSW North Coast will be holding the National Goanna Pulling Championships at the Wooli Sports Ground.
This annual event kicks off at 9am through to 4pm. Entry is free.
Winner in the heavyweight division takes home a cash prize of $500.
Day also includes kids fun events, foot races, market stalls, beer garden and mobile farm nursery.

This hilarious and intensely competitive sport is something like a tug-o-war match between two competitors pulling from a strap attached around their necks. The belly-down position up on two legs and the backward-scuttle motion required to gain ground is reminiscent of a goanna's gait.

Actually this event has been postponed to the October long weekend due to soggy grounds resulting from recent floods and heavy rains.
