I was thrilled to have the great privilege once again, to be one of a small panel to judge the District Exhibits at the Royal Easter Show. The imagination and ingenuity of the clever people behind the design, narrative and production of each exhibit never ceases to amaze me. You may think these images look like paintings, but they are all made of one kind or another of produce from the district, each grain, pulse or fibre placed with exquisite attention to detail; each district’s exhibit telling a different story.
These grain-covered chooks created a llight-hearted sense of frivolity amongst the leafy greens!
And of course, there were pumpkins, gourds, bottles of preserved fruit and veg, fresh fruit, seeds and nuts a-plenty. All of it magnificent. Get along to the Show if you can – it’s a time-honoured institution and we all need to support our farmers – without them, we’d starve.
