Once yearly show (around Eastertime) where Sydneysiders can see a bit of the old country on there doorstep. Excellent shows (sheepshearing, hearding, etc), traditional food and a great fairgound.
But best of all the show is famous for its children's goodie bags - children can buy for next to nothing themed bags of sweets and toys. Our kids still go on about them a year later. As parents we were dreading it but had a great day out!
