The Wood Chopping Carnival is one of the most popular and exciting attractions at Perth Royal Show with events held daily in the Wood Chopping Stadium and Peters Drumstick Main Arena.
The carnival always draws big crowds to enjoy a spectacular display of strength, endurance and skill by the axemen.
With over $40,000 in prize money, a strong contingent of competitors travels from across Western Australia, around the country and New Zealand to compete.
Some other exciting competitions for 2012 are: Father and Son competition, Junior 250mm Under Hand 15 years and Under; and the 225mm Veterans Standing Block Round Robin 70 years and Over.
