Crack that whip at Seymour

The Australian Whipcrackers and Plaiters Association has cancelled its usual Victorian championships at the expo, but the organisation will still run whip-cracking demonstrations.

The expo provides a great chance for people to see a unique sport in action, which the AWPA says is part of our Australian culture and heritage.

And with the whips cracking at the speed of sound, they create a sonic boom — and that alone is sure to draw a crowd.

After each whip-cracking demonstration by the AWPA, there will be chance for audience members to have a go.

The AWPA says the demonstrations are always a big hit.

“The kids actually learn to crack quicker than the adults — you've just got to let it happen and not think too much about it.“
