The two monster vegetables were grown by Adam Gavenlock from Oxley Island and sent down to Sydney in the back of a ute to be judged at the annual show.
Before heading off, Alison took a moment to capture the size of the pumpkins, resting in the car of her ute, alongside her son Michael Harris and friend Sam Marchant.
These ‘cattle’ pumpkins made the journey to the Sydney Olympic Park to be a part of the District Exhibit for Central New South Wales, which covers from Gosford up to Macksville and to across Narrabri.
Seven pumpkins were needed for the display and Adam offered up his homegrown giants.
Each was weighed and judged on Sunday, March 18 and part of the category requirements.
One came in at 133.9 kilograms while the other topped the scale at 157.4 kg.
Central New South Wales was named third in the Display Winners category and fifth in the Overall Winners category.
