It’s the Monday morning after the annual Red Hill Show. The 17 mm of rain we got through the night is beginning to soak in. Bark on the huge trees appear to be stained dark brown, a definite sign that the “hot-dry” is on its way out and Autumn is here. Streaks of sun are burning small holes through the greyness of the sky. It’s the start of the 2 weeks of “school” holidays. At Easter time the kids get 2 weeks off. We are “on permanent holidays” since we are retired so life is great.
Our friends met us directly at the Show Grounds on Saturday. Here in Australia, a Show is what the USA calls a “County Fair”. If you go to www.RedHillShow.com.au you can see how traditional it is. After seeing the miniature poneys, the alpacas, crafts of all types and the cooking sections we went to see the Chickens, Roosters and Ducks. There are so many varieties of amazing looking birds. The poultry shed is right next to the pigs and the winners are HUGE! The pigs are next to cattle and many of them were with their cute little offspring. It's so good to get "grounded".
Then I snuck into the photography shed to find out if any of my submissions did well. Yippee. I got two first prizes, one second and one Highly Commended. But enough of that. The event we love most is the dog jumping. Perhaps you have never attended a show like this? Well, here are some photos to amaze you.
