Dog in a ute queue – World Record holders

A chainsaw carved wooden sculpture of a dog was created to honour the World Record holders of the longest queue of dogs in utes. This convoy of utes was assembled in Corrigin on two occasions, 1988 and 2002. The first attempt of 699 beat the 325 set by the town of Terang in Victoria, with the second queue by Corrigin of 1527 dogs in utes, smashing the Victorian’s second attempt of 797.
