After the successful Barellan Good Old Days weekend the Barellan Working Clydesdales committee is hosting a whip cracking show by Nathan ‘Whippy’ Griggs (pictured) at the Barellan showgrounds on Wednesday October 19 at 7pm.
Nathan Griggs is not only Australia's number one whip cracking entertainer, he is a five time whip cracking Guinness world record holder - four times for fastest records with both one and two hands, 697 cracks in a minute two whips, 359 cracks in a minute one whip and for the longest whip in the world cracking a whip over 100m long.
Nathan has travelled the country in his truck all over Australia for many years. Country towns are a favourite with him and no town is too small.
When it comes to whips there is not a more inspiring and passionate man - he is a new breed of Australian whip cracker who is taking the world by storm.
Located in Mataranka NT, he has invested a lot of his time into perfecting his whip cracking and whip making expertise. Now a professional entertainer and artisan whip maker, his whips are in demand from all over the world, as is his whip cracking entertainment.
The past 10 years Nathan has spent touring Australia. He has a passion for rural Australia and travelling, taking his show to hundreds of towns, entertaining thousands with his ever evolving whip cracking talent and distinctive style of Aussie humour.
Nathan's standard 45 minute show includes tricks, demonstration of speed cracking, whip cracking to music, lightning whips and fire whips just to name a few.
With audience participation, incredible skills and a lot of humour, he will show the Barellan crowd a Whip Crackin' Good Time!
It is free to the whole community. BYO drinks and there will be a sausage sizzle available.
