Generally we try to avoid going to the Royal Melbourne Show during the School Holidays and try to visit on opening day as it is the quietest time to visit, but we went on Monday and the place wasn’t as busy as I was expecting it would be.
We generally stick to the arts and crafts, animals, exhibitions etc and try and avoid the show bags and rides. But Caitlin did talk me into going on the roller coaster with her and I have never seen a face who looked more terrified than hers did whilst riding on it. We also stocked up on hats at the hat stall again this year and now we all have bush hats.

This website was taken down in 2014, but in 2023 I decided to resurrected it and bring it back online, as it is now over 20 years old, expect bugs and features to no longer work as they once did.
The website is 90GB in size and contains approx 30,000 photos taken by us between 2003-2011, it is hosted at home on an old HP Proliant NAS running Lotus Domino 8.5 and spanning across multiple databases.
