Royal Melbourne Show 2011

Royal Melbourne Show is a signature annual event in Melbourne since the year 1848. Award winning food, crafts, pets, livestock, carnival rides, showbags, free live entertainment and much more fun filled activities were the activities in this show. Last Sunday with a sunny day, we planned to drop by to the Royal Melbourne Show for the first time.

A special limited express train that directly to the showground is available from Flinders Station & Southern Cross Station. My childhood memories reflashed back upon reaching the fairground. The placed was filled with people and coloufull carnival rides. It is exactly looks like the fun fair that my dad used to bring us go when we a small. The only differerence is this time there are MORE rides!
Besides carvinal rides, there is also the well known "Grand Ribbon" livestock championships for cows and rams. This is the first time i came across the cows judging session during the Royal Melbourne Show and was overwhelmed with the size of the australian cows. It was HUGE! =) It is indeed a good exposure for us as there are different kind of breeds that participated in the show. Beside competitions, there are also cows for sale by the exhibitors at the fairground.


Cows for sale. Anyone?
