Australian shearers and wool handlers had a field day against their New Zealand rivals at the New Zealand Corriedale Championships, at the Canterbury A & P Show.
Former world champion Shannon Warnest from South Australia won the open machine shearing final, the first overseas shearer to win in the event's 52-year history.
He also led an Australian team to a record third win in a row over New Zealand in trans-Tasman tests.
And the Australian woolhandling team scored Australia's first win over New Zealand in a test in New Zealand in 12 years.
The only positive results for New Zealand were in the blade-shearing test and the open wool handling final.
