I suspect most kids enjoy the animals the most at the show, other than the amusement rides.
Next was the bird pavilion.
A slow-moving queue. This was easily the most popular pavilion.
Investigating one's navel.
Champion chook.
Then on to the old cars. Here is an old Holden which became Australia's most popular car brand. Designed locally for Australian conditions, it had a suspension that could stand up to rough country roads. I am pretty sure the yellow colour is not original.
This for our German friend, Christian.
Because of the relatively dry climate in much of Australia, older cars don't rust so there are plenty of them around.
Anne and Clare will recognize the name. The Heckers owned the local Holden francise.
Nobody would have been seen dead in an orange car back in the 50's.
Of course, there had to be some tractors.
Watching young kids ride horses is not riveting so we did not linger long at the oval area.
The grandstand with a suitably large overhang to protect from rain. Rain in this area can arrive suddenly and be a total downpour.
On to the cattle.
Cow cockies in typical pose.
Final judging.
These beasts are enormous.
Somebody has to touch up the white paint on this breed every day.
Marianne loves donkeys.
A very placid donkey. It let me rub its nose.
This was easily the biggest donkey.
