Woodchops
1 of 7

Chopping wood is a sport with roots in the rural community.  It's not a particularly Australian sport, but a lot of "world" champion axemen have come from here, perhaps due in part to the fact that our timbers are significantly more dense than elsewhere.

Axes are honed so finely that shaving with them is more than possible, but no self respecting axeman would do that in case he blunted his instrument.
