THE crowd and competitors at the annual King of the Ranges are enjoying perfect weather and preparing for the cross-country event this afternoon.

Christy Connor, from Taralga New South Wales, competing in the cross country event at the King of the Ranges Stockmans Challenge in Murrurundi.

Hilary Turner, secretary of the King of the Ranges said the event is off to a brilliant start.

“Yesterday was one of the best days so far and people have travelled from all over the country to be here,” said Ms Turner.

“There is a competitor from Darwin and lots of spectators from Sydney and quite a few from Victoria,” she said.

“It is very popular with the travellers with caravans,” she said.

“This year we were all a bit worried about the weather, but it has been perfect, there is some cloud cover this afternoon which will be great for the cross country,” Hilary Turner said.
