Key points:
His last formal engagement will be at the Toowoomba Royal Show this weekend
Organisers are banking on high attendance numbers after massive financial losses last year I sat on Machinery Hill [in Brisbane], and my mum said to me, If you could do anything at the Royal Show, what would it be? he said. I said I d like to take that microphone.
Fast forward to 2021, and Mr Lane s dulcet tones have been wafting over show rings across Australia for more than three decades.

The 30-year-old competed at the Sydney show last weekend in what she described as the âWimbledonâ of woodchopping where she was award the Annual Achievement award.
The award recognises the women who has shown the most potential, skill and growth throughout the competition â an incredible achievement for someone who entered the sport only 18 months prior. Madeleine Edwards competing at the Easter Show. Photo: Head First Photography
âIt was pretty surreal,â Edwards said.
âIt was my first timing being in Sydney and only having been in the sport 18 months, to be up there among the best female competitors in the world, itâs encouraging to keep going.â
