Wooli Goanna Pulling Championships
Every October, people gather in Wooli for The Australian National Goanna Pulling Championships. A Goanna is an iconic Australian lizard similar to a monitor lizard that can grow to nearly 2 metres in length.
Goanna Pulling is where 2 people lay facing each other on a mat and perform a tug-o-war, but instead of pulling the rope with their hands they have a leather belt that is around their heads. Then, they arch their backs and push with their hands to pull their opponent across a line like a traditional tugging match.
Wooli has been hosting The Australian National Goanna Pulling Championships every October. 2012 will be Wooli's 26th annual Goanna Pulling Championship.
The Goanna Pulling Championship is a great holiday where lots of things are happening in Wooli: Wood Chopping, Childrens Races, The Wooli Sprint, Brick Carrying, Fireworks and special markets. Goanna Pulling is not just for the men - it's a fun filled experience for all the family.
Wooli is normally a quiet seaside village where you can have a perfect family holiday. Wooli is in the NSW North Coast in the Clarence Valley 30 minutes from Grafton.
