This man comes out every Friday and Saturday to dance at Wangaratta's seediest club. He drinks no alcohol, only milk. He has dance offs with random challengers, like lions challenging for leadership of the pride, needless to say he kept his throne.
We also have a lot of famous people who lived just outside of Wangaratta, like Ned Kelly and Sir Edward Dunlop.
