Brothers Damon, 8, and Kyle Shoard, 7, from Yass,  joined 3209 others in their blue singlets as the Deniliquin Ute Muster celebrated its 16th year. But there was no sweet ending for organisers as they fell short of breaking the event’s own world record for its blue singlet count at the weekend. Those in singlets were asked to stand inside the outline of a large heart as they were counted — the heart symbolising the muster’s sweet 16th birthday. Pictures: DYLAN ROBINSON
