:: Royal Show - The 'Ekka' ::

Once a year every capital city in Australia has a royal show. The show is full of fun rides, show bags, games, farm animals, fashion parades, fireworks, and many other fun things. In Brisbane our royal show is called The Ekka, because it is held at our Exhibition Grounds. This year I went with Mr LG, two of my sisters, my brother-in-law, and one of my friends.

My favourite part of the Ekka is Sideshow Alley at night time. I love the bright colours, the screams of delight (and possibly fear, haha), the smell of fairy floss and dagwood dogs, and the crazy carnies who try to get you to play their games.

What is your favourite part of a carnival?
