Sydney Easter Show 2009 with Pig Racing

 

Easter Show is the largest national event in Australia, it's a national iconic showcase of Australia heritage and culture . The show last for 2 weeks from 9th April to 22nd April. This is my second visit to Sydney Royal Easter Show. The best of it is, you can sample most of the Australian iconic food products in a day. Don't miss this if you travel to Australia in April! This event is definitely suitable for whole family. 

This year, the pig racing is the most interesting event of all. It has 4 shows per day and we picked the 2pm show. It's too popular that people start to line up from 1pm. We were lucky to be there 50 minutes earlier to queue. The gate was opened45 minutes before the show. People just flowing in then but all the seats are occupied 20 minutes before the show! It is not fun to be baked under the sun for almost an hour just for a 10 minutes show. Yeah, the show only last not more than 15 minutes. Two rounds of pig racing, each round with 4 pigs. And only two pigs performing diving and swimming for us. But still, we would think they worth the waiting time as the racing is just too exciting. In the moment, I couldn't even relate the cute pigs with delicious pork dishes I like.  :)

Besides pig racing, I attended Woodchop (again), True Blue story (I love to hear the singing performance by John Williamson), Xtreme Korruption Yamaha MotoX/Toyota V6 Hillux Heroes performance (again). Liked every other years, there are hundreds of Showbags for you to pick. I couldnt' believe you cannot find one for yourself (mostly for kids though). I bought myself the Women Weekly's showbag for just AU$12 which include 5 magazines and more. 

So, don't miss this if you happen to be in Sydney.
