The Hamilton Sheepvention show is on again next weekend - a fantastic event in the Grampians region. It is all about sheep (as the name suggests!) and celebrates the diversity and history of the animal in Australia. Attractions range from livestock exhibitions to farm dog and invention competitions.

There is even something for the fashionistas, with wool fashion design celebrated in the Discover Wool show that sees woollen garments showcased in two fashion parades. Emerging Australian designers will also be recognised at the presentation of the Australasian Young Designer Wool Award during the Sheepvention Gala Fashion Parade on Sunday August 5th.
