Whats On: Agricultural and Local Shows and Events

"Royal Shows are held in every state and Territory every year!"

Australia puts on a great show - Come and see!

Australia has a strong tradition in cultural and rural agricultural 'shows'. These are like a fair where the local farmers and other producers display their wares while everyone gets together for an entertaining 2 or 3 days, or in the dcase of each states Royal Show, a week or more. These shows reflect the entertainment, educational features and exhibitions that makes Australia a vibrant mix of city and rural life. They aim to 'bridge the gap' between the city and country, focusing on the many sectors of rural Australia including farming, horticultural and mining.

Queensland is the largest rural community in Australia and The Ekka (Exhibition) is a ritual for Queenslanders while the Nelbourne and Sydney shows are extensive displays of the festival atmosphere that is exhibited in these capitial cities. Perth has a strong Mining infulence and Adelaide has always been a hub of the Australian music industry and the strong German heritage of mucvh of South Australia is on display.

Hobart and Darwin have unique cultural aspects of daily life, being at the extremes of Australia's weather patterns and given the distances from other major centres, and the festival atmosphere fo these states' shows reflect those unique cultural diversities and make for a great time.

But the fun does not remain in the cities! Country shows like the Dubbo, Mildura and Swan Hill Shows are all central dates in the communities calenders as everyone from miles around centres in on the townships to see the latest in produce and entertainment. These are special days in the lives of most young rural inhabitants in particular with 'fairy floss', side show alley and lots of animals making for a young childs excitment for weeks afterwards.

Whether you are interested in music, animals, the wild and unusual or just want to meet thelocals and see what they do, there is something to entertain you at the Royal Shows and smaller country shows.
