COMP CLOSED: Win 2 x The Shearers by Evan McHugh

This week’s giveaway is The Shearers: The story of Australia, told from the woolsheds by Evan McHugh – and it surely doesn’t get more Australian than this! (Well, maybe if it included a stubby holder.)

From the arrival of the First Fleet, this book offers an intriguing and definitive history of these men, bringing to life the toil and toughness of the shearing life, and the ultimate effect it has had on Australia’s national character. For example, did you know that Australia’s national song, ‘Waltzing Matilda’, was written on a Queensland sheep station?

So in honour of all those sheep that have been shorn over the years, we’d like you to describe the WORST haircut you’ve ever had – get creative with the detail please! Our favourite two entries that ‘make the cut’ will each win a copy of the book.

This competition has now closed – thanks for your entries! Winners will be announced in our weekly newsletter.
