Heat 6

Original broadcast date: 12th March 1986

Teams

Victoria: Portland
New South Wales: Temora
Queensland: Springwood
South Australia: Riverland

Referee: Edith Bliss

Event 1: Piggy Race

South Australia (4)
Queensland (2)

We think that this has got to be the most inane IAK event ever.

Event 2: Bet Your Loaf

Loaves across the small pool:
New South Wales: 9
Victoria: 17 (4)
Queensland: 12
South Australia: 14 (2)

We wonder about the relevance of this event to real life.

Event 3: Musketeers

Joker: Victoria (2nd place)
Heat 1: New South Wales vs. Queensland
Heat 2: Victoria vs. South Australia (after 30 seconds of extra time, required after teams were level after time allowed for event)
Final: New South Wales (4) vs. Victoria (4) (Joker 2nd place)

Roger Trewavis represented Portland well, under the circumstances. One must question the fairness of the scoring system in this event, especially if Victorian! Luckily compère Billy J Smith assured the TV audience that there was no chance of the competitors being stabbed...folks! As far as we could see there was an actual danger of a stabbing, but that was only in the face. We are sure the Combat Team had that danger covered though... he he.

Event 4: Icebergs

Joker: New South Wales (wasted!)
Victoria (4)
Queensland (2)

Judging by much of the weather at IAK, we are unsure whether the icebergs in the big pool were natuarally occurring or artificial pontoons. A fantastic (but again dangerous) event. We want to do it! And Victoria won! Yay!

Event 5: Living Donuts

Joker: Queensland (2nd place)
Heat 1: South Australia vs. Queensland
Heat 2: Victoria vs. New South Wales
Final: Victoria (4) vs. Queensland (4) (Joker 2nd place)

Yes the title is very funny.

Event 6: Jockey Hoopla

Joker: South Australia
South Australia: 8 (Joker Win)
Victoria: 2

OK who thought of this one?

Final Score

Victoria: 18
New South Wales: 4
Queensland: 8
South Australia: 14
