A doctor in the British Army won an award for the best mullet hairstyle at a competition called the World Mullet Championships.
Dr Alastair Bush, from Bovington Camp in Dorset, said he was very happy to have won the trophy at the contest in New South Wales, Australia.
In February, the doctor went to Australia to compete in a pub competition in Kurri Kurri.
He won and was asked to come back for the finals, which was on Saturday at a motorsport park in the Hunter Valley.
Dr Bush said he spent two years working on a project to help Testicular Cancer UK by raising money and awareness.
He said, “It’s really great. ” I’m really excited about the news – really happy.
“Today was great. I had lots of fun, met some awesome people, and saw some really cool haircuts. ”
Dr Bush started growing his hair in the back during lockdown in October 2021, when he could not go to the barber shop.
Mulletfest started in 2018 in Kurri Kurri, a small town with 6,000 people about 80 miles north of Sydney. It brings in thousands of people from all over the world every year.

Ukraine war: Honouring memory of former British soldier who died in combat
The family of a former soldier from Britain who was killed in Ukraine said he died while protecting people who needed help.
Christopher Perryman, from County Durham, was killed in October while helping fighters in a country at war. His family lives in County Durham.
His mother found out he was fighting there only after he had died.
Soldiers went to Mr. Perryman’s funeral and the service was shown on video to his old unit in Ukraine.
Mr Perryman joined the British Army when he was 16 years old. Two years ago, he went to Ukraine and got killed there in a bomb attack.
MrPerryman was a skilled soldier in the British Army and had been to Iraq and Kosovo with the Royal Regiment of Fusiliers.
He was buried in Stanley, County Durham last Thursday.
The 38-year-old, who was one of three babies born at the same time, passed away and left behind an 11-year-old son.
Paul Perryman wants more help for Ukraine. His uncle is asking for support.
“He said those guys out there have worked really hard,” “That’s brave, that’s really brave. ”
“He’s a true soldier. ” “He’s a warrior, so he gets to go to Valhalla. ”
Mr Perryman’s sister, Aimee Statt, said many people have been helping and supporting them a lot.
She said being a triplet was tough sometimes. We used to fight a lot, but we were really close.
We were always together, we couldn’t be separated. We were really good friends.
We are not three people anymore. Family pictures will change.
When asked what she would say to him if he could hear her now, she said: “You’re really silly, but great job, you’ve made a huge difference in many people’s lives. ”
“He wanted to do it, and he did it. ”
Tony Perryman, who is Christopher’s dad, was also a soldier. His grandfather and great-grandfather were also tall.
“Tony said it’s part of who he is. ”
“He didn’t like bullies. He thought Russia invading Ukraine was like being a bully. ”
Tony said that even though his son has been through a lot of pain, he is very proud of him. He said, “I admire the boy. ”
MrPerryman’s mom, Dorothy, believed he was in Ukraine teaching people how to fight.
She said, “I’m very, very proud of him. ” “I’m upset with him because he died, and he shouldn’t have. ”
“He died while keeping people safe. ”
“He has left something for us to be proud of, and his son will also be proud as he grows older. ”
Christopher also worked for a group that helps animals in places affected by war.
A person from the Foreign Office said they are helping the family of a British man who passed away in Ukraine.
The UK government says it’s not safe to go to Ukraine right now. -
