Royal Adelaide Show
Hey everyone,
yes, it's cold (the "hottest" was 14°C) and it's cloudy ... but we went out to the show 🙂
Royal Adelaide Show has originally been put up by some farmers and is dominated by them till today. You can see cows, horses, pig, sheep, chicken, ... of all sorts. And this you cannot only do like far off, but really close ... this can turn out to be a pretty touchy experience 😉

Anyway, there's not just animals standing around. No, it's also about "carnival", the Great Parade and a nice show with fireworks at the end!
For all the Germans amongst us: Carnival is no festival in terms of "Karneval". It's got nothing to do with parades and costumes. It's rather like "Kirmes" with lots of attractions such as roller coasters, carousels and dodgems.
The Clowns - kind of the mascots of the show
The Great Parade is, well, a funny kind of parade as the participants are not only horses, but also cows and coaches. Looked pretty funny and was not like a strict formation, but very nice.
At the end, though, we had the chance to watch the big evening show. There were crazy bikers doing somersaults high up in the air, funny cowboys and much more. At the very end we could see these wonderful fireworks that were accompaying the music. And guess what; the music and the fireworks really seemed to be synchronized 🙂

Take care,
Verena and Johannes
P.S.: I guess we are actually dating things back with this one, but this way it'll be right when we look at the post in a couple of months 🙂 JHG
