The Sydney Royal Easter Show

The Sydney Royal Easter Show

"Show time in Sydney - two weeks of the year when more than a million of us head out to Sydney Olympic park to reaffirm our national pride. This all-Australian showcase celebrates everything we do best, on the land, at home, at work and at play." Basically the Easter Show is a huge Country Fair, complete with rides, junk food, woodchopping contests, dog shows and animal judging. We checked it out last Saturday:

Welcome to the Show, it's pouring rain!

The Kids Carnival

Since it was pouring when we first got there, we headed inside to see what they called "urbanKorruption", which was actually kids doing tricks on BMX bikes and skateboards.

The guy on the bike is completely upside down.

Then it was time for the baby animals.

Peeps! (Not the marshmallow kind though...)

This goat couldn't be convinced to get out of the food, despite head butting from its siblings

These 3 little pigs were pretty cute

Brendan and a cow!

This cow was getting a haricut before being judged. It looks like a blue ribbon to me, look how straight that spine is!

Cattle being judged

This is one HUGE bull.

After the cows we wandered over to the Cat Pavillion, which was packed with people. This British Blue was so cuddly and good natured.

This one really wanted to get out!

"Hurry up, mate, I need my ice cream!"

Brendan's happy about his hedgehog, but the guy to his right looks pretty annoyed about it.
