 | Woodchop The wood chopping at the ActewAGL Royal Canberra Show consistently draws large numbers of spectators. There are several events in wood chopping, with most using a handicapping system to start everyone on an equal playing field, but you are bound to see the back-markers racing to catch up with their less experienced counterparts in this exhilarating and highly competitive sport. Included in this world class program is a tree felling challenge in which six of Australia’s top tree fellers will compete plus the “David Foster” Underhand Handicap Challenge featuring eight of Australia’s top axemen. Catch the many events from 8am to 5.30pm on Saturday and Sunday. |
