Modern competitive woodchopping originated in Tasmania during the 1870's from competition to determine who could fell a tree or chop a log fastest (so google tells me!). This year I was lucky enough to capture some images from behind the fence and also from THE best seat in the house up in the commentator's box. Tell you what, next time at the Nowra Show do yourself a favour, go sit, watch and cheer them on as this sport is damn hard work.
