It was a case of following in his father's footsteps for Scotsman Jamie Gunn at this year's Waipu Highland Games.
The 25-year-old was competing in the Highland Heavyweight Championship at Waipu for the first time yesterday, 22 years after his father competed in the same competition.
His father Alistair, came second overall in 1996 in his only visit to the games, and Mr Gunn said his uncle Murray competed sometime in the 90s too.
Mr Gunn, who comes from Halkirk in Scotland, has been working near Brisbane since October driving tractors and was asked to compete at Waipu.
"It's not too far away so I thought I'd come over."
