Off to the annual local show

just nearby in leafy Brookfield, a little rural show is held in May each year
past the General Store
watch out, here comes the fire engine!
and a very old American police car (I presume)
then into the craft pavilion to admire the needlework


and the quilts
wonderful...
amazing!

an unusual quilt


preserves in the cooking pavilion
and yummy sweets
and up the hill to the Arts pavilion..
next to sideshow alley!

I always enjoy the photography...
these cute koalas were peeking out
and of course I can't resist strelitzias
but this one on the left was the best in the show...
time to leave the arts now
and head out
through the entertainment

up to the car park....and home...not a bad little show...though I fear the mood is somber this year after the events of the last month or so. May it not be long before the police make a breakthrough in the recent murder case out here. The showgrounds were the center of the police hunt for quite a while.
