Te Huia broke the previous record of 513, which was set near Kojonup, West Australia, in 2005, by another New Zealand-born shearer based in West Australia, Dwayne Back.

He recorded runs of 113, 103, 105, 104 and 105 to ensure he cleared the previous record by 17.

Shearing Industry Promotions committee treasurer Michael Pora said Te Huia looked flawless as he made his way through the flock.

"Te Huia did a sensational job to shear 530 sheep. Everything went right for him," Mr Pora said.

"On Saturday we auctioned off the 514th fleece he shore, and that was bought for $1500 by Don Chad, from Chad Wool.

"It was a great event, there was a really good turnout and the money we raised went to the Royal Flying Doctor Service South Eastern Section, based in Dubbo."

Parkdale also hosted another record attempt on Saturday by Western Australian Beau Guelfi and Trangie-based Bob White, who were hoping to break the two-stand eight-hour fine-wooled merino record of 924.

The record was held by West Australian-based New Zealanders Michael-James and Cartwright Terry and was set in 2003.

Guelfi and White gave it everything but they retired after three runs when it became clear they wouldn't be able to shear the required number in the final two hour stint.

"You need everything to go right for you on the day when you go for these kinds of records and it just wasn't working for them.

"They gave it everything they had but it just wasn't meant to be."

Mr Pora said the benefits of the event were felt by many.

"It's great for the region, it's great for the shearing community, it's great for the industry and everyone involved," he said.

The records were run by Shearing Industry Promotions and the referees were appointed by the World Sheep Shearing Records Society from Australia and New Zealand.
