Drinking at a temporary bar on Saturday afternoon, Albury’s Dave Chambers said he had better luck meeting women at the annual event than he did at local pubs.

Mr Chambers, 44, was confident he would be able to win the favour of someone special.

“There’s plenty of talent here, I’ve got one interested, we’ve been texting,” he said.

Sisters Cassie and Steph Parkin, from the Mornington Peninsula, were out to lasso a handsome bloke for the night.

Cassie, 20, said she preferred men from the country because they were friendlier.

“If a guy has a ute definitely I’m keen, 110 per cent, it doesn’t matter what they look like,” she said.

Steve Pilkington, 19, may have been just the man the sisters were looking for.

He didn’t have any luck with the ladies last year, but was hoping this might change after his Holden VR won The Australian National Circle Work Championships at the muster’s sports arena,

“I reckon I’ll give it a crack,” he said.

The teen tore up the arena in front of cheering fans on Saturday morning.

He said he used his vehicle to go kangaroo shooting near his home town of Saddleworth in South Australia.

But mostly the spotlights, mud flaps and stone guards were intended to impress the girls.

Unfortunately Mr Pilkington didn’t manage to turn around his fortunes in 2011 with Deni’s female population,

“I was probably the first circle work winner not to do it,” said Mr Pilkinton with a laugh.

“But it was good fun, Adam Brand was great.”
