Not two Aussies but three
Three Aussie blokes have been announced as finalists in the Rural Bachelor of the Year competition at Fieldays in June.
Turns out Aussies aren’t as scared as we thought to compete against our Kiwi bachelors.
Fieldays organisers have announced not only two, but three Australians to compete in the Rural Bachelor of the Year competition at the national Fieldays in June.
Competition closing dates were extended after a lack of Australian entries.
“Based on the strength of applicants that we received from Australia, we made the decision to add the top three applicants to our pool of eight that will vie for the Fieldays Rural Bachelor title,” Fieldays communications executive Vicki Annison said.
The three Aussie bachelors from New South Wales and Victoria, Andrew Blake, Dan Korff and Sam Tretheway, will come across the ditch to compete against our Kiwi lads in all things farming.
The Aussies have backgrounds in farming and horticulture.
The New Zealand finalists are Fergus King (Matamata), Monty Bamford (Canterbury), Simon Washer (Taranaki), Tom Biesly (Gordonton), Glen Hammond (Canterbury)
“I’m sure it will make for a great trans-Tasman contest as they compete and showcase their skills, strength and character,” Annison said. “These men have already proved on paper that they have the drive and determination to contest the Kiwi lads’ reign on the title, as well as meet our gorgeous Kiwi ladies whilst competing.”
The Aussies all think they’re romantics and are keen for a Kiwi lass.
Tretheway is keen for one who’s confident, challenging and pushes the boundaries.
The men will make their way to Mystery Creek, “Amazing Race style,” from mystery locations around the country on Monday June 10.
