Perth Royal Show 2010

Once again, the Perth Royal Show has come to town.

This year, we got there as early we can (could have been earlier of cos) to get good parking spaces but as usual, they are all nabbed up by the early birds.

A big bulk of the show is very similar to the year before with just some small changes spotted.

Pigs are allowed in this year show (banned last year due to swine flu). I bet the pigs are happy to be included.


Animal nursery /McDonald farm is always a popular one with the old and young

these ducklings were chasing flies!

Agriculture and Food showcase the different types of produce WA has, categorize in different regions.A good educational section.
