We had a very successful trip with a 3rd in the Maiden Yard & a Win in the Novice Yard & a 7th place in the Australian Yard held at Ross. We then moved on to the National Kelpie trial held on a big sheep station "Connorville" at Cressy where they run 20,000 sheep. We had great success there with a Win in the National with Karana Ripper II & close 2 points away 2nd with Karana Abba II who was 10 points ahead of 3rd placed dog. This latest win & 2nd placing gives us 9 wins & 10 2nd placings in the National Kelpie Utility Championship. We really enjoyed our time in Tasmania it is a really beautiful place to visit with amazing scenery. We also spent some time staying with our good friends Peter & Lyn Allen.
