A lucky cow pat is the topic of conversation at Bethlehem School's annual Cow Dump and Gala this afternoon with participants waiting for the animal to do its business on their chosen patch of lawn.

The annual cow dump sees families enjoying a stack of fun activities, auctions and raffles, with the talk of the event based on the chance to win $2000 from a lucky cow poo.

The game works like this: one cow is placed in a gridded field. Tickets correspond to grids on the field, and the person holding the ticket to the square the cow poos in first, wins the prize money.

Visitors can place a bid in the silent auction, with items and raffles up for grabs as well as rides and exciting games, a book and CD sale, and many delicious food stalls.

SunLive photographer Cameron Avery was there to capture some of the action.
