We departed for the Ploughing Championship at 7:15 am on the 21st September. The journey took approximately two hours. We arrived there at 9:30 am and everyone was really excited especially the students that come from farming backgrounds.
We all headed into the championship grounds, some headed straight to the carnival and some headed straight to the food tents and farm machinery tents. I learnt many things about farming that I had never known before as i don't come from a farming background, and found it all very interesting. My friend and i also took part in a drumming lesson which was a very enjoyable experience.
The whole place was packed with people from all around the country and from all different schools.
As well as drumming, we also went to the carnival where we went on various rides. We also ate lots of food and had a great time overall and would love to go back gain next year.
