Australia has taken out five finals of the world shearing championships in the southern Queensland city of Toowoomba at the weekend.

A shearer from Willalooka, in South Australia's southeast, won the Golden Shears.

He also won the world teams event and the Australian Open championship for machine shearers.

It is the second time 31-year-old Shannon Warnest has taken out the event after last claiming the title in 2000.

But he said a previous victory did not make yesterday's final any easier.

"I got snagged up in the middle with three or four of my solid sheep," Mr Warnest said.

"I wanted to get out the way and they were a little bit more solid than I thought, so I really had to just knuckle in and sort of do the job on them and the last two or three sheep was me best sheep and I come home with a bit of steam."

He says he is looking forward to a few days break before heading back to work.

What happened to New Zealand Marty?

I thought they wore special 'velcro' gloves? The gloves do all the work......

Thats right Slo, rub it in, and how many of us aussie's actually know what your on about, and how many of us care. But hey if it makes our kiwi brothers feel better, its all good. Hey Mick is he talking bout league or union, they all bumb sniffers aint they?
Now you shut up and say nothing, about the aussie cricketers over in pommie land copping a right royal flogging. ooopppsie.

Hey at least we found a real use for sheep other than friendship if ya know what I mean

We shear the buggers and get this stuff called wool, makes great clothing.

Either way its's just not cricket, just like that silly Twenty/20 game isn't cricket. Anyway, we've got to let the Poms win something that way they stay interested. As for the Kiwis, well I believe we beat them at REAL FOOTBALL all the time.

But the gloves don't work as well on sheared ones.
