Agfest is Tasmania's largest agricultural show. We spent the day there today along with thousands of others. We saw everything from Alpaca garments to huge tractors.

At one point I paused to consider that here was I, the ONLY person there, in this vast show covering acres and acres.......in a kilt!

I mean, this place is Akubra Central, the compulsory dress code is Akubra hats, Blundstone boots, jeans and oilskin coats!
I got a lot of stares, a few smiles, and only one comment - sadly from a couple of young thugs who waited until they were past me and bravely called out to my back "POOFTA" (a derogatory term applied to one of homosexual persuasion).
My first thought was to chase them down and throttle them, I decided to walk on as if I never heard them.

I wore the newer of my two black hemp RKilts.
I did get a broad grin as I approached a tent selling woolen products, it was called "Highland Cottage Industries". The owners were Campbells, as I approached I explained that a kilted man really must check out their wares with a name like "Highland etc".

For sure I was the most comfortable man in the place. wearing the kilt is a joy and a pride!
