Perhaps it’s because I am not from around here, or perhaps it’s because I haven’t been to a lot of state fairs. Whatever the reason, there are few things that caught my eye….

I guess it’s normal to see something akin to Jason outside of the haunted house.

Or a dinosaur.

Making friends with the emus, that’s surely different.
And so are seeing their babies!

Touching a soft alpaca was special.

I guess on these occasions, there are always crowds. So worth it!

Anyone was invited to play. (I didn’t).

There were blasts from the past…

…if you’re an Aussie that is, I sure didn’t recognize the brands.

There, texts can be sent the old fashioned way….in a telegram!

Chocolate fountain, why yes, thank you.

Cranking up the music…well you have to crank it for real.

Lastly, I just love seeing little Aussie children, all wearing their hats. It’s a strong sun, and very needed, but they sure make the adorable look even cuter!
