His father Steve took out third in the mens section, and second in the bullock whip section, and his mother Narrelle took out sixth place in the ladies section of the festival's whipcracking competitions.

Steve, who is president of the Australian Whipcrackers and Plaiters Association, said whipcracking was "a unique sport and is a [homage] to our Australian stockmen".

"We're trying to uphold our Australian culture which is the stockwhip, which pioneered our country in settlement years," Mr Wicks said.
