Nathan 'Whippy' Griggs at Mataranka

Have come into Mataranka Rodeo ground to see this young man (31) perform with his world record holding whip cracking style. I'm not game to take more photos of the crowd - but there is a terrific turn out - and he's doing this 5 nights each week at present.
At the end of his show, Nathan comes around the crowd with a large hat for us all to contribute some money for his performance. We put in $20. He relies on this 'pass the hat', sales of his whips (he makes), and his merchandise sales to make his living.
I hope he continues to do well with this - he certainly is amazing with his whip work.Read more
