Picture this: It\u2019s the end of a hot, dusty day in the Northern Territory. You\u2019ve been in the saddle for hours, walking out weaners. You\u2019re tired, sore, hungry and thirsty. You\u2019re on your last run before the sun sets\u2026. but then you hear the word \u201cesky!\u201d<\/p>\n

As far as you and your horse are concerned, the day is done!<\/p>\n

Bronte Tremlett captured the moment a ringer left the cattle to his colleagues and took an early mark in search of a cold drink.<\/p>\n

This fantastic photo, titled \u201cRace to the esky\u201d, took out the top prize in the\u00a02024 National Agriculture Day photo and video competition.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Lamb love<\/h2>\n

In second place was Tamara Ward\u2019s heartwarming \u201cGrow ewe beaut one!\u201d featuring her daughter with Lilly, a poddy lamb.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Tamara said Lilly the Lamb had a rough start, but bonded with her daughter through lots of cuddles, pats and milk bottles.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Lilly was eventually weaned and put into the paddock, but Tamara said the loving sheep would come and say hello to her human family every time they dropped by.<\/p>\n

\u201cOver the past 4.5 years, the love these two share has not faded but has grown. Lilly has grown to be one of our biggest, healthiest ewes and has given us 3 lambs so far,\u201d Tamara said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

And the bond has strengthened Tamara\u2019s daughter\u2019s love of the farm.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cShe is developing and growing her stock handling skills and is eager to grow bigger so she can help more. You could say these two beauties have been growing up together. Such a good thing!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

From little things, big things grow<\/h2>\n

A winning video of the amazing journey of a canola seed was awarded a runner up spot. \u00a0<\/p>\n

Agronomist Mark Habner from Cummins in South Australia put together a beautiful bedtime story for his young son.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI wanted to tell him a story about growing canola and decided it would be cool to follow its journey from when it arrives on the Eyre Peninsula (most canola seed is hybrid and brought into the area) until it is shipped out to be made into oil,\u201d Mark said.<\/p>\n

I would drop off my GoPro to capture timelapses in the morning and pick it up at night.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The video was a labour of love over many weeks, and a lost GoPro in the mix!<\/p>\n

\u201cMost of the footage was shot on one of my client\u2019s properties \u2026 I did this most weeks throughout the growing season.\u201d<\/p>\n
