South Australia: Mount Gambier
Referee: Tiffany Lamb
Event 1: Heckle and Jeckle
Victoria

Heat 1:
New South Wales
vs. Victoria
Heat 2:
Queensland
vs. South Australia
Final:
New South Wales
(8) (
Joker win
) vs. Queensland (2)
Apparently Hawkesbury captain Michael Jordan practiced for this event using a surfski on a dam, and this paid off with a Joker Win. Maroochydore captain Jim 'slickback' Walsh performed admirably and almost beat Jordan to the post.
Event 3: Jaunty Jallopies
Joker: Victoria
South Australia
(4)
Victoria (4) (Joker 2nd place)
We can't believe Wodonga's Leigh Privett and Rosalie Shingles lost this event, but to their credit they came second to the strong Mount Gambier team.
Event 4: Dairymaid Derby
Heat 1:
Queensland
vs. Victoria
Heat 2:
New South Wales
vs. South Australia
Final:
New South Wales
(4) vs. Queensland (2)
This event is seriously dangerous.
Event 5: Frogs
Joker: South Australia
Number of frogs across pond (in 1:30):
Victoria
: 7 (3)
South Australia
: 7 (6) (
Joker equal 1st
)
Queensland: 5
New South Wales: 4
In nail-biting (and possibly bone-breaking) running of 'Frogs', one of IAK's most popular events, Wodonga and Mount Gambier drew level. Wodonga's Leigh Privett showed his dexterity on pontoons while wearing flippers.
Event 6: Mountain Climbing
Joker: Queensland
South Australia
(4)
Queensland (4) (Joker 2nd place)
Mount Gambier's Les Knaggs led well from the front to take this difficult steep-wall event.
