Bream Creek Show last Saturday, always popular. In the style of the traditional Agricultural Show where the city or in our case, the country comes to the country to showcase everything that's great about rural life. Morning tea in the shed with the big tin tea pot, scones and few sandwich corners is a great way to start the day off. Giant pumpkins the size of a small car take front place outside of the hall of industries where serious scone championships are fought and won.
The animal displays are hands on with highland cattle up for a pat and the bullock driving demo is hard to turn away from as 'tiny' and 'freckles' take a left here and reverse there at the crack of a whip. I'm always a bit wary of the animal attractions, particularly the poultry pavilion with displays of some fascinating breeds. 'Nooo, we don't need any more, we already have an out of control chook population and even though her hair is more out there than Doris's we still don't need more'. The food stalls are pretty genuine with pulled lamb rolls, good quality pizza, octopus on a stick... yeah they were a bit alien like for me, kind of deep fried tentacle lolly pops. A great day though, but the traffic is a problem as cars are slowly parked in the car paddock on arrival and as a result the rest are banked up for a very long way. If you are going to get there, get there early. Before the scones run out.
