The biggest pumpkin grown in Australia this year has been given a second life as an intrepid commodore paddled it down river over the weekend.
The 407-kilogram gourd named Tormund, after Game of Thrones character Tormund Giantsbane, was the biggest pumpkin awarded in any show across the nation in 2024, according to Mr Peacock.
Inspired by Popeye, he completed the one-mile trip in the hollowed-out "slimy" gourd christened Cinderella on Saturday, sporting a sailor hat and pipe.
Up to 1,000 people lined the banks of the river, chasing the pumpkin canoeist as he paddled along.
