Looks like this might be a Tasmanian record of 422kg held at the Beam Creek show.

That is correct, beat the Victorian record also that was held by pipster (i think?). Im sure Speedy (shane) can give us the full details. Congratulations to Shane and his daughters, fantastic family effort.
I also managed a reasonable first time entry of 238.5kg (526 pounds) taking second place.

Nice work for Speedy and a pretty impressive result for yourself.
Think mine is sitting at around 212kg, so very nice work indeed.
