In exclusive breaking news , we announce that proud agronomist Robert Wesley-Smith took out second prize in the giant pumpkin section at the Royal Darwin Show . It weighed 77 kilos and is pictured on the left , with two of his other melons . The winning pumpkin weighed 120 kilos , and won the lucky owner $500. Wes received a certificate .
He narrowly avoided a double hernia rolling and lifting the produce, above, into his small Honda Jazz down in the rural area to get it to the showground . Three people helped him unload . He is not sure what will happen to his entries now , but suggests taking a machete to the two larger ones would make removal and handling easier .
The pieces could be distributed to worthy causes, a bit like the loaves and fishes parable .
