Firstly - a big thankyou to Kerryn for reminding me to take my camera :-)
We began the afternoon by being introduced to the finer points of competitive shearing (it is afterall an agricultural show)
 This is the chappy who won. He presented with the fine soubriquet 'Mullet'. His daughter was born 12hrs previous; accordingly I think he did very well for a man with no sleep & possibly under the influence....  This is wool post shearing, cleaning, spinning etc  Onto the handicrafts & some fine hats
 Possibly the best wedding cake I've ever seen (down the slippery slope)  The Holden Precision Driving Team (complete with black armbands) 
The part the kiddies are interested in*
 Going quackers** 
These people think they're part of the precision driving team (above) leading me to conclude that the majority of the population is heavily deluded and/or driving under the influence of excessive sugar.
And now a word from our sponsor
View towards the ocean, from the ferris wheel***  Awwww purdy
* In a couple of years they'll go with their friends & skip the first part.
** Sorry, couldn't resist
*** I love this photo |
