The Wildflower show event was still going, but we saw some flowers on the paths outside of the main event.

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 have so many October birthdays in our family, but Enric’s is the one who started it all. I am sad and sorry I can’t be with him, but looking forward to one of our silly and crazy family celebrations very soon. Enric was the first baby to our...
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.
… and I am half the world away. It’s painful and heartbreaking not to be with him, making him fideus, and being together as a family. I will hope to make it extra special on my return. For now, I hope he knows he is loved, missed, and thought of...
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...
