About Us

High technology has done us one great service: It has retaught us the delight of performing simple and primordial tasks - chopping wood, building a fire, drawing water from a spring

Woodchopping is a uniquely Australian sport and it is part of our heritage.

Our early pioneers who were clearing and falling timber for their homes were often separated from their families for long periods. They created their recreation and entertainment by using their work skills to challenge each other with chopping and some, also, became very proficient at axe throwing.

There are seven associations operating within Victoria. Each association is responsible for woodchop competitions and demonstrations within their geographical boundaries.
