For two weeks each year Sydney Olympic Park is filled with festivities of agriculture, show bags and rides: the Sydney Royal Easter Show. This year's show was characterised by a lot of walking; animal stroking; show bag buying; lemonade drinking; wood-chop watching; food sampling; cake admiring; token ride riding; winning of a consolation prize on a pricey game (this year it was a furry felt covered oversized smiling flower); and being utterly exhausted on the train ride home. Also noteworthy each year is the meeting of both city and country cultures - one of the most interesting parts of the Easter Show, for me, is experiencing the way that different demographics come together.
