Getting Dazed At Murrumbateman Field Days

Country fairs can be overwhelming. Tractors! Rides! Animals! Fairy Floss! Murrumbateman Field Days is a classic small town, rural fest with all the usual attractions and distractions. Time to explore.

Boys and their toys. A dad introduces his son to a lifetime of driving John Deeres.

Throwback ride area, the colorful ticket booth sign for the "Giant Wheel" and girls enjoying a teapot spin.

Getting busy, showing how to do a successful sheep shear. Razor close.

How close? Just ask these naked llamas. Or alpacas, who can tell the difference and they aren't talking. Or sweating. Other animal attractions, the determined dog, getting at it against a wall obstruction.

The Cutest Race on Earth, little piggies doing their scoot.

Don Bradman, The Babe Ruth Of Australian Cricket

The town of Bowral, New South Wales, hosts the Cricket Hall of Fame, really, a temple to the most famous Australian cricket player of all time, Don Bradman.

The complex has a relaxed, gentleman's vibe. Cute cricket pitch stands.

Besides, Bradman exhibits, there's plenty other stuff on display. Ball development and a little bit of women's history with the game.

The main event, heap o' Bradman objects and information.

Start the fandom when they're young with a kids book. A wall of cheeky ads related to cricket, including Mr pre-Dundee, Paul Hogan.

Back to Bradman. There's a full size, walk-in recreation of his last game with Bradman sitting in the locker room, post match. Get that man a pint.
