We went to Royal Adelaide Show on Saturday. We decided to use public transport considering the difficulty to park if we were to drive. Royal Adelaide show is an annual event that last for one week. Years ago the venue was known as Wayville show ground but now it is Ridley Memorial. The Royal Adelaide Show is similar to the Gawler show in nature. There are horticulture show, show bag, fun park, food sampling, local trades and businesses, horse show, best breed cattle competition etc.
Guess what? We were giving a family pass worth $40+ by Trading Post.
This is the entrance to the show. This was the place that I have to frequent twice annually between 1990 and 1994. A place that I have to spent hours cracking my head. A place that I saw my friends in panda eyes. This was where I remember racing against time and I still have night mare if I have a dream about it. This was where my examiniation hall was. The worst memory of mine was I have to pay for overparking fine after one examiniation becuase there was an exhibition during the exam and all the car parks were full and I had to park beside the road.
Can you imagine that this was an examination hall before? The original hall had been demolished and replace by this new centre.
Spring festival is coming soon.
Lot of show bags.
Horse show.
Best breed cattle. Without farmers we will not have the milk and cheese that go with the breakfast. Farmers have been hit badly by the persistent draught. Keep it up mates!
Food sampling.
Champion show cat.
Roller coaster. The mad mouse was retired.
Do you want to win a spiderman?

Be a winner.
Champion apples.
