The Tapawera 62nd Annual Show


The 62nd Tapawera country show was a great South Island country experience!


Held 40mins drive out of Nelson central, the show is an annual highlight for the friendly locals.


The shearing championships were held on the day. With the finals culminating in 20 sheep being shorn by each finalist in under 18 minutes, that is 1 sheep in less than a minute!

The wild Tapawera Shrek had a lifetime of wool sheared by the annual champ. Here is a before and after.




Some old and even older vehicles were on show.




And to top the day off, a massive lolly scramble South Island style. Check the video below. Yes, that is a chopper raining lollies!
