The Port Fairy Sheepdog Trials

In sheepdog trials perhaps Australia's premier meet
Where the best trial sheepdogs in Australia compete
For to become Australia's dog of the year
Where to win one needs more than luck seems obviously clear
In early February in the football oval in Port Fairy Town
Australia's top trialing border collies compete for sheepdog trialing renown
And bring to their female or male handler in sheepdog trialing Australia and Worldwide fame
And among dog trial handlers become a great name
In Port Fairy in February the weather is often warm and dry
And the sun does shine warm in the blue and gray sky
On the dogs and their handlers to work in warm humid weather it can be quite tough
And only the very best are good enough
For to become Australia's premier dog of the year
Where more than luck is needed is obviously clear.
