The Grampians puts on a woolly great show!
Discover all things sheep at the Hamilton Sheepvention from 5 - 7 August 2012!
Hamilton Pastoral and Agricultural Society’s largest farming show features everything from exhibits on the history of the animal in Australia, to live exhibitions of up to 1,000 sheep.
