Yaamba, Lawn Mower Racing

After stopping at the Yaamba Hotel on our way into Rockyview the publican had told us about the Central Queensland Lawn Mowing Races which are held in Yaamba on the Lawn Mowing Race track. This sounded interesting and only 17 km from our house sit so we decided to come out and see what this lawn mowing racing was all about. When we arrived their was no space to park around the track so had to park behind vehicles where we put out our car awning.  Lucky for us a vehicle pulled out so we took their space.  Not so lucky was in my haste to get vacant position I told Helen to hold the car awning and walk while I maneuvered the car, which sounded a good idea however I drove a bit too fast and with windy conditions I nearly lost Helen and the car awning!!  A guy came to her aid and helped with the awning until we settled.  Had a great day experiencing this event.


The racing was very competitive


A lot of sideways action

Check out the beard from underneath the helmet.
