Do you like water melons? Well, after a week at
the Water Melon Festival in Chinchilla, Australia,
you might not like them so much!
Chinchilla is the water melon capital of Australia
and produces an amazing number of melons. This is because the ground here is excellent for
growing them. It holds water well and this is
really important for growing melons.
Every two years in the middle of February the
people of Chinchilla hold a special festival and
participants come from far away. A visit to the
festival is very entertaining! If you go this year,
you’ll see a crazy competition where people
smash melons with their heads! There are
easier competitions too such as melon throwing
and melon skiing (where you put your feet in
a melon and get pulled along by a rope!). Of
course there are cooking competitions for meals
using melons and a lot of melon eating too.
The festival started in 1994 and is getting bigger
each year. If you want to go to the festival in
Chinchilla, you must book your ticket soon. This
year they are expecting between six and seven
thousand people. That’s a lot of water melons!
