I vote Goondiwindi state high school, very creative
I voted for Hurlstone Agricultural High School, they’re very creative as well!
I’m with you Tania! I voted for Hursltone as well!!! I love the cultural aspect!
My vote for Hurlstone. Themed International Agriculture and what a beautiful design! Saw ur pics on the Facebook link – simply amazing work guys! 🙂
I also agree with Tania! 🙂 Awesome design!!
Goooooo bolwarra💞👌
I voted for Hurlstone. There seems to be a mystical aspect of happiness and tranquility when i see this cow. While i was scrolling down to see all the cows, I couldn’t help but stop continuously at Hurlstone’s beautiful creation. It does seem to me that they put in an extreme amount of effort into this considering the fine details of the hatching at the cow’s legs and the elegant buildings on the body. OH! and don’t forget the neat air balloons they made out of recyclable ‘milk’ cartons (that was pretty cool). Overall, it was a hard decision for me to vote as many of these cows are quite funny and intriguing. I sincerely appreciate the time and effort contributed by each school and wish i could vote for all of you for your efforts but I do believe that I made the right choice, Hurlstone’s cow just seems to pull me in and create a magical atmosphere around me when I look at it. THANK YOU HURLSTONE FOR SUCH A WONDERFUL COW!
Hurlstone cow is beautiful indeed
JAMES RUSE, what a beautiful cow! LOVING the MOTION SENSOR and MILKING PROCESS, a real beauty. Shame it’s not represented accurately in the pictures. Sure, the others may look pleasing to the eye but the real winner are you guys. Everything is on point, from the process, production and everyone involved. I hope everyone else can take time to truly appreciate all your hard work. A+
Henry Lawson shows a great mixture of materials and extremely colorful.
Great project.

Really? I think Hurlstone really deserve it!!! Its different and adds the cultural and international aspect to agriculture we never see!
I was looking for one from Warnum-bull or Mooball!
Great work St George State High, the cow looks fantastic.
Hurlstone’s cow looks even better. 😛

I vote for wiripaang public school
Go Gundy!
Good luck Maitland Grossmann; Mabel is beautiful!
Go Gundy
Wiripaang No 1
Canowindra High School. 👍 very creative..
Wow! I don’t think the pictures do the cows and students effort justice. I’d love to see the other side of James Ruse’s cow. Having the whole milking system being run from the udder that seems to run throughout and getting that to work must have been quite the task. Their art looks beautiful with all the small details (I adore the barcode on the udder). They’ve chosen a wonderful way to represent the dairy industry and they’ve even took the time to cut it in half. I’m intrigued as to what the speakers in the bottom right corner are for. I definitely believe that James Ruse takes the cake (or cow in this matter)!
Hi Sam I totally agree unfortunately I can only load one pix for the poll but I have lots of photos of all elements on our Facebook page.
If you go to this link https://www.facebook.com/Art4Agriculture/photos_stream?tab=photos_albums you will see pictures of multiple elements of all the cows including James Ruse if you scroll down to their album which is only the sixth row
Go Hamilton North! You are little but mighty!

St George State High School’s has been very creatively designed. Those with no artistic skill can interpret the work with a comprehensible understanding. At the same time, people with higher level skills and knowledge about art can also complexly interpret it.

I LOVE HURLSTONE ITS SO COOL AND FRIENDLY AND I WISH I WENT THERE. One day i was catching the train and this girl called Celeste in a senior year stood up to give me a seat, i know its not much but it’s the little things that count.
Well done Henry Lawson, love the sheep idea! It’s different from the rest but applicable. 🙂

Great work everyone, st George state high school gets my vote 🙂
I vote for Mareeba State High School, looks amazing.
voted for hurlstone.
The design was so beautifully refined, detailed and delicate, and immediately caught my eye. A school that is creative enough to use such a small palette definitely gains a vote
Yes, I think Hurlstone’s one is very nice too.
It has all of the cultural designs of Asia and the contrast between them too.
Wow the hurlstone cow is so cool. I like the parachutes
I think the Parachutes are very creative too. ^.^
Great job st george
Grafton High School awesome job!!
I am very impressed with Grafton High School – their research on Cotton which is not a local cropping in the Clarence Valley. These students went to extrordinary lengths to research their assigned subject then travelled hundreds of kilometers to physicall research their crop.
Awesome Cow Kildare..Come on Casey!!!
What a magnificent cow. RIP Betsi
Go Canowindra High school!
Go Grafton High!!
Go Bolwarra
Go Matto – small school with fantastics artists! Well done Matraville Sports High School, finalists two years in a row!!!
Hurlstone’s one is very Beautiful.
Hurlstone won me. Simple in appearance, but complex message – well done!
Wow, what a wonderful painted cows by all the schools. I could see each and every cow was painted with great care and hard work. Overall i chose the Hurlstone cow because it looked the most delicious one out of all of them.
WOW, mother of holy COWS :O James Ruse’s cow looks AMAZING!! If you closely, the cow splits into two and you can see the details of the insides; you can see the effort that has gone into this. Love the colours as well, you have my vote Ruse 😀
Go Canowindra High, well done, it looks amazing. Well done girls, go well tomorrow, Julia, Hannah, Adelaide and Meg.
