I arrived at around midday and while the crowds were not huge there was a lot going on in this sprawling show.
These guys were leaning on the fence, talking. As one does.
Just across the way the kids were learning how to judge cattle.
Straight into the pavilions and I risked my liberty reaching over the barrier to get an unimpeded pic of the Lego.
Some nice flowers.
And nice vegetables (no Vegan tricks like Coonamble)
Some nice patchwork
Lots of school participation, and lots of first prizes.
The wool section.
Working dog comp.
A fully loaded and working sideshow alley with big kid rides.
Some old fashioned stuff for the traditionalists.
This horse won the crochet competition for its special ear warmer.
This horse didn't want to jump.
But got into the spirit of things a bit later.
You call that a bull bar? THIS is a bull bar!
More jumpers jumping
This Holden was labelled "Loudest at Narrabri Show"
The flag thing is contagious
The sign-writing on this one tells it all
This Toyota was at risk of developing an issue with identity
These oldies had no issue with identity. That's a Fargo carrying a Jeep, another Jeep behind it, a lime (of course) Valiant, a Studebaker ...
And this nice Dodge.
This bloke was teaching kids how to dry dishes without touching them.
The Thelwell brigade
Do they have grading like Karate, with different coloured jackets at each grade?
These guys were starting a woodchop comp. The big guy on the left was in his 20s and was started first. The wiry 30-ish guy in the middle started 10 seconds later.
And the 70-ish guy on the right started 10 seconds after him. Facing forward.
The old guy was first to turn
And then it became clear exactly what this competition was all about
The 30-ish guy turned second
Followed by the brawny young guy
But the old guy decided to walk away
and had a rest while he waited for the other two to finish.
The big 20s guy started the second comp
Followed by the 30-ish guy
And finally the old guy started
He turned first again
And finished first again
Followed by the 30-ish guy
And with the young guy finishing a couple of minutes later
And no Show would be complete without a big mutha toy.
Next show: Miles, QLD
