Day two of the Melbourne Royal Show delivered talent and tradition in spades, with woodchopping, horses, dogs, and sheep all taking the spotlight. The woodchopping competitions were fierce, the crowd-favourite Clydesdales captured hearts everywhere, and the dog confirmation classes showcased the best of the best. Over in the sheep arena, top breeders from across the country – including the next generation – also brought their showcased excellence.

They’re off and chopping! The 2024 Melbourne Royal Show kicked off today with an exciting first day of competition. From the nail-biting nerves of the woodchop to the on-the-edge-of-your-seat excitement of the Action Dogs, spirits were high as the first round of results rolled in.
