Tooradin pair Lachie Macdonald and Tracey Miller were the top gumboot throwers at the Pakenham Show. Picture: Paul Dunlop.LACHIE Macdonald and Tracey Miller were a dynamic duo at the Pakenham Show.
The Tooradin couple were the prize-winning gumboot throwers and also performed strongly in the Ironman competitions, with Lachie finishing runner-up in the men’s event and Tracey making the top six in the women’s section.
Tracey also won several awards for her entries in the floral section at the pavilion while six-year-old Taylah Macdonald won a showgirl competition in her age group.
The couple and their children had a big day out at the show. Tracey said her win in the gumboot toss came despite hurting her arm during an impromptu practice session the day before the show.
Lachie sealed his victory in the gumboot toss with a throw of over 30 metres, sending the judges scurrying for the record books.
