Over 1000 competitors from 28 countries gathered at Manfield Park, after the usual powhiri and speeches they were treated to a variety of rural activities like sheep shearing, aerial top dressing demonstration where half a tonne of lime was dropped onto the Manfield turf and a rural themed “competition” where teams had to drive nails into a log, change a tire on a quad bike, roll a wool bale and go apple bobbing.
