When I return to the USA, I create a slide show that I present to everyone and we watch together on the TV. I’ve noticed that when they watch the section of the cakes from the Royal Show, it gets a lot of attention. Here are some of the cakes...
One of the most fun parts of the Perth Royal show is the fireworks and the show they have before the fireworks, Horsepower. This year, though, before the Horsepower presentation, we got to have a photo shoot of all the riders before the show. The reason for that was because...
This is one blog post I could go crazy because we saw a lot of horses, and that means we took a LOT of photos of horses too. There are so many breeds represented at the Royal Show, there is just no way to get them all in one blog:...
I can’t decide, but I think last year’s cakes were better. The first day we went to the Royal Show I was sure last years were better, but a second time around, and I was no longer so sure. Here are a few decorated cakes that caught my eye… ...
More than 2,000 dogs were judged at this year’s Perth Royal Dog Show. Dogs from all over the country came to show off their best form. Dozens of breeds were on display from adorable poodles to the majestic great dane and each day different groups paraded in front of international...
As an American, put all the best State Fairs together and you’ve got the Perth Royal Show. Now this year, I didn’t want to do to John what I did last year, and that was make him go twice….but as we pulled up to the parking lot, I realized that...
In the night, we knew there would be fireworks, but John kept warning me not to expect much. (I was so impressed by the fireworks on Australia Day). The evening’s activities were so much fun, Oz Rocketman and Horsepower, that it didn’t matter to me if the fireworks were good...
Part 1 HERE I was pleased to have a trip around Western Australia in one place. What a great time the Perth Royal show was. But even more fun was to come at night….
Each year the District Displays come alive with the flavours of Western Australia. From all corners of the State, ten regions each create an original display which shows off the best of agriculture and innovation. Designed and created by teams of volunteers they are a colourful celebration of human endeavour,...
We actually got to see the Rocketman 3 times our trips to the Perth Royal Show. He was a winner with the children. From the official website: Who is the Ozrocketman? David Clarke is an ex RAAF aeronautical maintenance engineer specializing in Avionics. His training was second to none and...
As we wandered around the Perth Royal show, we saw something out of the corner of our eyes in the main arena. Horses! I didn’t expect so many different kinds nor all the jumping and excitement that was to come. We both took so many photos of them all day...
Like any state fair, or any carnival, or any trip to Ocean City, the Perth Royal Show had rides. They label this section of the show, “Sideshow Alley.” Now it’s well known that I don’t DO rides, I get dizzy, nauseous, and am basically no fun at all at an...
So I was curious what kind of food stands and event like this would have… Much of what I saw looked very American to me.
Sometimes what is old is new to young people. In the Heritage Hall section of the Perth Royal Show, there were several things I can remember seeing growing up and others I wasn’t old enough to remember. Great section to the show. John and I went through a few times....
What I know about sheep I could count on one hand. Australia they say, has more sheep than people. So the Perth Royal show was a good place to see and learn about sheep. This is a cute news story on the sheep herding at the Perth Royal Show. ...
Or not eat cake, because most of these were too beautiful to consider eating! Like our state and county fairs, the Perth Royal Show has a food competition. Some of them are: Patty Cakes Biscuits Slices Cakes Muffins Macarons Preserves Jams Pesto Chocolates Decorated Cakes The Jams and Preserves Small...
The first time I was ever in Australia, Laura and I missed the opportunity to go to the Perth Royal Show by one day. It was a shame, as John had talked about it to me well before we were married, and it always sounded like a fun event. Now...
