World champion Fiona - click for more photosPersonal Whipcracking Lessons

Fiona has been cracking whips for over 15 years. Being self taught, Fiona knows the correct methods and approach to teaching people of all ages on how to correctly use any type of whip. Not only does Fiona teach whip cracking but can also help in all areas of accuracy, one handed and two handed routines. Once you can use two hands together you can create a tune with your whips.

Fiona has also helped entertainers better there demonstrations and she can also put together a 10 minute or half hour entertaining performance for you.

Fiona has performed both here in Australia and in the USA with astonishing reviews from all that has seen her perform either by herself or with her father Jim (Fiona's assistant) going by there performance name THE WHIPAROOS.

Don't try this at home!Over the years Fiona has invented her own cracking routines which are sort after, by all whip crackers wishing to learn her spectacular routine cracks such as, Fee's style, Wilkis wonder (where the whip is twirled around her neck and catches the whip on the other side while doing the QLD cross over), Around the world, The double arrow head cross over, Nothing special, McMasters beat, The bow and arrow, and Fiona's flick back, ect.

Whipcraking Tapes & DVDs

Fiona- click to enlargeThose wishing to learn Fiona's routines are at a disadvantage watching her off other peoples video's and dvd's. Fiona has found they aren't doing it correctly and get them selves into too many bad habits. Finally after getting hundreds of emails and phone calls Fiona has decided to release her own training tapes/dvd's. Let Fiona show you in-depth, the correct way on how to perfect her routines.

Fiona's skills and teaching advice have helped many whipcrackers and learners towards their goal either becoming champion whip crackers, performers, entertainers or using whips for campdraft judging, off horse back or cattle yard work.
Fiona's skills have even helped current and past Australian whip cracking champions reach there highest level of cracking.

Fiona with Joe BowmanMany others from the WWAC have asked for Fiona's help, Montie Montana Jr wishing to crack a bullock whip, and also Joe Bowman had a few lessons on the Bullock whip as well. Fiona has had Bill Brisko from the USA and a WWAC member come and visit for a week to learn whip cracking using two hands and after a week, Bill entered the Northern NSW whip crackers and plaiters championships and won the novice section.

Fiona enjoys helping people wishing to learn more about whips and has given lots of lessons, whether you want a weeks worth, a day or just half a day-by yourself or in groups, Fiona can cater for all.
