The Royal Queensland Show

Otherwise known as the Ekka, this exhibition is held for 10 days each August to celebrate agriculture. I’ve always wanted to see some animals since I came here to Brisbane so I headed down to the Ekka with John, Michelle and her parents last Monday. It’s times like these I wish I had a real camera instead of my phone camera.

I never knew what is an alpaca. Now I know it’s like a miniature llama.

A farmer and his dog

 The dog was quite amazing. The farmer would say “go fetch the black chicken” and the dog would do just that ! Then the farmer said “now go get the white one. No , not the big one, the small one … ” and the dog would get the small white chicken ! That was pretty cool in my opinion.

Well, if I had a better camera I would have posted pictures of the amusement park, showbags, chariot races, rodeo, motorbike stunts and awesome firework display. But I don’t :(

All in all, it was a really awesome event and I can’t wait for the riverside festival next month. Hope I can take better pictures next time !
