Darwin Show

Its the long weekend, last week of school hols, and a public holiday for Show day on Fri.  We headed to the show, it was very hot.  Took in the showbags $25!!!!, too hot for chocolate bags anyway.   On the main arena was the Grand Parade - bulls, polo ponies, vintage cars, police & fire engines.   They had racing pigs, jousting knights on quad bikes, Ford Vs Holden V8 utes, a polo match, fireworks set to music.   We were there for the Rodeo.  It was a really nice night weather wise, the rodeo a pretty good one, our very first, wellrun, lots of action and some very mean spirited bulls and horses.  Lots of spills, but nothing serious.

This lovely buffalo has a very familiar name.   He isnt marked for our freeza though.   It was a "guess the weight of the buffalos" competition.

We thought we must be in with a chance here.  Sadly we havent heard, so didnt win the prize - a night at a luxury hotel here in Darwin.   I asked the owner why they were called Mozza and Rella  -  Well of course they are buffalos - "Buffalo Mozzarella"!!!!!!!
