Australia toasts its watermelon man

Feb 22, 2009, 4:52 GMT

Sydney - Australian John Allwood broke his own world record Sunday by smashing 47 watermelons with his forehead in 60 seconds. The professional melon picker from the Queensland town of Chinchilla head-butted 40 to oblivion at last year's Chinchilla Melon Festival. Chinchillla, 300 kilometres north of Brisbane, produces a quarter of the nation's melon crop and its four-day festival is growing in popularity with people into fruit-abuse. Among the contests on offer are melon shot-putting and melon pip-spitting.
