00:00 They call it business at the front, party at the back.
00:07 And the starters gun has been fired in a nationwide search for Australia's best mullets.
00:16 Hundreds of entrants graced the stage in this round alone.
00:19 I think I went alright, but there's some pretty dirty mullets up there.
00:23 It'll be a tough competition.
00:25 For Curtis, his 80s inspired hairstyle was never really in doubt.
00:30 It's a family tradition really. Dad's had a mullet, Mum's had a mullet, everyone's had a mullet, so you've got to have one.
00:35 A family affair too for the little ones, starting young but no less dedicated than the grown-ups.
00:42 The only reason I really grew my mullet was for mullet fashion.
00:45 Give us a little turn around. That is very impressive.
00:50 We actually started growing them together and then just with my workspace it just becomes far too hot, so I said, "Hey, we'll show them to you on your own."
00:57 But while some of these do's are clearly high maintenance...
01:01 Oh, look at that. Maybe that was a thing of beauty.
01:06 Others make it look easy.
01:08 Just brush it every day and yeah, good, shared building conditioner.
01:11 Samanat's 2024 motored into its final days, but not before the festivities spilled out into suburban Canberra.
01:22 ACT Police seized three cars overnight after Hoon driving incidents.
01:27 One driver caught doing burnouts has been ordered to front court, with police warning anti-social behaviour will not be tolerated.
01:35 tolerated.
