If you’ve ever wondered what happens to the biggest fruit/veggie winners at agricultural shows, a keen NSW canoer has given one a fresh purpose… Adam Farquharson nabbed his mate’s 407kg Royal Easter Show-winning “monster pumpkin” – named Tormund after a Game of Thrones character – for a journey down the Tumut River. Farquharson, a self-declared “big one for shenanigans”, was on the lookout for a supersized gourd to carve into a pseudo-canoe but had run into troubles when they “rotted off and died”. He had no such challenges with the “slimy” Tormund, who he took for a spin/float on Saturday as 1,000 people watched from the riverbank. Farquharson reckons that level of “worldwide fame” hasn’t gone to his head, saying, “I won’t end up like Taylor Swift. I’ll just get back to life as normal”. It’s good to stay grounded – even in a floating pumpkin…
