Easter show

It was extremely pleasant this year going to the Easter Show on Thursday, the crowds were not too bad, so it was very pleasant. We did lots of poking around looking at stuff. Visited the Big Top and saw the Erth Petting zoo, Wild Aussies and Hip and Hop.

Then it was off to the agricultural displays, still not sure who won, but we did like the story book. We also planted a sunflower and saw the pumpkin prize winners, celebrities pictured here. The sample bag pavillion wasn't too crowded, and the petting zoo was also fun.

Show is still going and its fun to visit.

Gondwana

Gondwana puppet show

So there were only 12 performances for the July school holidays and guess what? they sold out. Children's theatre is alive and kicking.

This show was beautifully staged and executed, featuring Australia's amazing prehistoric creatures and land brought to life with full body puppets and large-scale inflatable plants.

The journey was a bit scarey for some of the younger children, you need darkness for puppets, which can be frightening. However it was a lovely journey seeing giant dinosaurs, insects, indigenous plants, life-size rocks and mammals.

The land masses changed shape, there was a bit of death and murder with flesh-eating dinosaurs nesting, feeding and fighting for survival.

Plus for my daughter the best part was the interactive session at the end, where Basil, featured as a performing animal. He was given eye drops, and fed leaves by various audience members. Plus we now know that his wife and kids live in New Zealand.

Performed by Erth Theatre Company, it was educational and great entertainment.

If you were one of the lucky ones to have seen the show, it was also great value.
