When the country comes to the city...

The Royal Easter Show brings out the child in all of us, and this year was no exception as we braved threatening storm clouds for the thrill of showbags, farmyard nurseries, rides and Dagwood Dogs.

This is what we encountered on our fun day at the Show.


Kids' Carnival

Showbags on sale for the unwary; crowds galore; colourful rides


The Animals

Aww, an alpaca; cows -look out for cowpats; pony ride; Siberian Husky; Clydesdales
Sideshow Alley
Vintage posters; a couple of freaks; giant slide
District displays
Spectacular displays of fruit and veg from the pride of the land


The Food Dome
Wares from My Little Cupcake; fruit from Woolies; choc-dipped fruit;
had kransky in a roll for lunch, with sauerkraut; corn about to be roasted on a stick

Cake Decorating
Aren't they spectacular?

Preserves and Cakes

Preserves in jars; cakes on shelves; light fruitcake winner; panforte winner; onya, Lyall


Showbags!
Should have got the Hello Kitty bag for the umbrella - it pelted down as we left the showbag pavilion

The Rides!
Did not go on these rides - too wet (and too chicken)!
Summary: A FUN day was had by all. The Easter Show never changes, and that's what I love about it!
