Judges Comments:
Judged by Gary Gazzard & Kevin O’Callaghan
What impressed us this year was the cleanliness in the birds on the head & mantle areas. The top six placings are lovely clean birds.
First owned by Peter Thurn (Vic) has lovely type, style, stance, shoulder and is very powerful with good markings.
Second owned by (J & S Bowgett (Nth & Central Qld) has lots of type and style and has a real swank.
Third owned by Peter Thurn (Victoria) is an excellent variety bird with a good clean cap.
: Peter Glassenbury & Alan Baxter
First owned by Sheppard & Flanagan is a big strong bird who showed well, nice outline and is a very impressive bird. It has slight ticking but still well ahead of the other birds.
Second owned by Rowe Brothers (Vic) is another strong bird in great condition and a clean cap, a nice outline but did not show as well.
Third owned by Kakoschke & Rice (SA) is another clean bird with a nice outline and again strong in the body.
