Perth Show


This week it's school holidays and the Perth Show. The Perth Show is a MASSIVE agricultural event, that has grown in size into something spectacular! The Show runs all week and contains every agricultural event imaginable; every breed of dog, horse, cow, llama, cat, guinea pig (yes, really), fowl, pig, rabbits, sheep, alpaca, emu etc. compete for the "Best in WA".











It has three massive fairgrounds, photography and craft exhibitions etc, wood chopping, daily shows, fireworks, motorbikes, trucks ... I could go on for ever ... It really is something to see to be believed!






















There is also the phenomenon of the "showbag". There are more than 280 showbags that are available to buy from between $5 and $25. They are full of things such as, chocolate, action heroes, magic gear, things for pets, sports gear, cartoon characters.

Anna had the Hannah Montana one (contains bag, diary, wig, glitter scarf, lip gloss, makeup palette, microphone and key chain) and the High School Musical one (contains bag, book, disposable camera, badges, poster book, coffee coaster and mug). They are actually really good!

We went with some friends to the Show on Bank Holiday Monday and I went back again today. I'm now nursing a very big glass of wine, which I think I have earned ...

Is it really a year since you sent the pictures of last year's Perth Show?(when you all bought fleeces to keep warm)Judging by the photo of Anna in a tshirt, it was much warmer this year.It looks like a 'full-on' event. Glad you enjoyed it. Who knows, perhaps one year we can all experience it together!!
