Last updated on April 11, Every September the Royal Melbourne Show comes to town. What is the Royal Melbourne Show? Only… not quite as great. The Show is still lots of fun! The first thing I did at The Show was watch a performance… that was a bit crazy. It was a bit humorous and it kept us entertained for a few minutes before we decided we should move along. We went through some of the animal buildings and saw all of the sheep and goats.
The best building, by far, was the nursery — a building full of baby animals, all of whom had been born since the start of the show. They had a few pigs with their litters of piglets — so cute! Even better though, were the baby sheep.
The two main ones on display were only a few hours old! They were each in stalls with their mothers, and still a bit messy from their births! In the main area of the giant barn, the calves and lambs roamed around free with the visitors, so we got to pet a few. We wandered about through some of the other exhibits — I was in awe over the cake competition!
The cakes were all stunning and quite impressive. I was also really impressed with the photography on display.
They were a great reminder of just how beautiful Australia is and how glad I was to be there. It was time for us to eat, so after hunting around for something to eat, we settled on chicken sandwiches and chips. After dinner we headed over to the poultry building to see the ducks, geese, and rabbits. As the night wore on, we decided it was time to buy showbags! They are all the rage over here. Before the show we went online and looked at all the different showbags that were for sale at the show.
