| Royal Easter
Show
- one of the highlights of Sydney is its Easter Show - like a state
fair in the US. It's something you'd visit every 3-4 years for
the fun and to see what they have. For Roger & Rex it's mainly
about rides & showbags; it is really an agricultural show, a chance
for the country folk to display their wares in the city and compete
for 'best in show' prizes - not that we saw too much of that |
