Whip Cracking at Bankfoot House

Whip Cracking at Bankfoot House
Did you know the sound of a whip cracking is actually a mini sonic boom? Join local teen Brooke Wild as she demonstrates her whip cracking skills in the open air at Bankfoot House Heritage Precinct. Learn about the history of this sport and see a collection of American bullock whips from the 1970s.
Brooke was formerly a Junior Rural Ambassador and is keen to share some of the history and her old bullocky whips. Pack a picnic and enjoy the show!
Afterwards view the exhibition ‘From The Ground Up’, that looks at how the Grigor, Burgess and Ferries families used agriculture on the property.
Free event. Bookings essential.
