AXEMEN 13.TIF
On the morning of the competition, Trish Tasker gets up at 4.30am. She fills the tea and coffee urns, makes scones and sandwiches, bakes the sausage rolls. They’re still warm as vans and utes draw up and park in a semicircle around the competition arena.
Not every chop offers food, she says, but it’s nice to have a yarn over the scones. It helps build the camaraderie that every axeman and woman, without exception, says is what attracts them to the sport.
