00:00Don't run by too fast. This is your chance to find love.
00:07Dating is hard. Now imagine doing it in a country town.
00:12There's no real dating for me and where I am from.
00:16You like to get out in a bed, I think. Like, you don't want to necessarily date somebody you already know.
00:21And it's a bit weird going out with someone from your hometown.
00:24Do you ever have an issue of being related to...?
00:27Yes. Yes. Yes, a lot.
00:31Distance is one issue.
00:33First, I've travelled. I'll say Perth.
00:36Ooh, probably 120km.
00:40Ooh, I've gone to South Australia.
00:44And what works in the city might not work in the country.
00:48Yeah, I think people are really busy. Obviously, Tinder only goes so far.
00:52You know, Howdy's a great app. It's a fantastic one for rural-based people.
00:57And then I usually set that for as far as WA goes.
01:02Speed dating at WA's largest ag show, a potential solution.
01:07Even city singles joining in.
01:10You have to be open to that when you're farming because the reality is that a suitable match is probably not around the corner because you would have already found them.
01:17Dozens of farmers from right across the state flocked to this speed dating event in Perth City hoping to find love.
01:25While some left on their lonesome, others reaped a bountiful harvest.
01:29I think more events like this are great, yeah.
01:32And it's just a matter of becoming, you know, getting more advertising out there, getting a bit more exposure.
01:38And then I think a lot of people would be pretty keen, yeah.
01:41There's already been one day in the cattle lane.
01:43I know, and I know for a fact there's going to be a second tomorrow night.
01:47A speedy solution tackling long-distance loneliness.
01:50Come and join.
