00:00Don't run by too fast, this is your chance to find love.
00:08Dating is hard.
00:10Now imagine doing it in a country town.
00:13There's no real dating for me and where I am from.
00:16You like to get out in a bed I think.
00:18Like 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 the ladies to...
00:27Yes, yes, yes a lot.
00:32Distance is one issue.
00:34Burst I've travelled, I'll say Perth.
00:37Probably 120k's.
00:40Oh 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.
00:52Howdy's a great app, it's a fantastic one for rural based people.
00:56And then I usually set that for as far as WA goes.
01:01Speed dating at WA's largest ag show a potential solution.
01:07Even city singles joining in.
01:09You 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.
01:26While some left on their lonesome, others reaped a bountiful harvest.
01:30I 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.
