We still have a few weeks left in New Zealand, but our last planned activity was the Golden Shears. The Golden Shears is a famous shearing competition and this year it was also where the shearing world championships were held. Over 2,000 people including the Prime Minister, John Key, showed up to cheer at the top of their lungs for the competitors. Highlights included John Key getting up on stage and pretending like he was going to shear and the award presentation for the machine shearing world championship when a group got up and did a Haka and then a Scotsman sang his national anthem in response. You can check out the videos of the shearing here: http://goldenshears.co.nz/live12.htm.
