About 18 men and women took part in the 31st annual Chatto Creek Bark Up at the Chatto Creek Tavern, including defending champion, Logan Sinclair, of Mt Ida Station. If a dog did not bark, its owner had to get on the table and drink from a dog bowl. Chatto Creek publican Lesley Middlemass said the annual event was a highlight on the pub’s calendar, which she always looked forward to.
