Seeing The Queanbeyan Show

Small town country, agriculture fairs are alive and well all over Australia. See some prize bovines, eat a corn dog, throw it up on a ride, go home happy.

Humble hay stage at the annual Queanbeyan Show.

Worthy wool. Sheep shearing is still big biz in Australia and having the best merino is coveted. Your Water Stream Here. Masochist clown amusement.

Dunking for Disney characters.

Rough rides. The sky's the limit and hitting the chilly slopes in the spring heat.

A little quiet time in the bleachers between animal competitions.

Wandering Around Goulburn

Goulburn is about an hour from Canberra and the town has a handful of cool sites to visit. Pumping water and gawking at Big Things, here we go.

Ye Olde Goulburn Waterworks. Iconic red brick building.

Pretty piping. Engineers then knew how to build to both perform well and look good doing it.

What the..? All hail Rambo! No ram-sh*t, this big merino is named after a real ram from the nearby Bullamallita property. 50 feet of concrete studlliness.

Delightful details. You can climb up the inside of Rambo and peer out his big eyes. Rear view, no doubt it's Rambo, not Ramba.

Ho hum, it's still an exit through the gift shop, time to pick up some socks and a beanie.
