This is only our 3rd time to attend the Royal Easter Show. The first was in Moore Park, shortly after we settled in Sydney. Then again when the show was first moved to the Olympic Park. The annual Sydney Royal Easter Show<\/a>, which runs for two-weeks over Easter, is currently the largest event in Australia and sixth in the world.<\/p>\n

We were playing hosts to Jeanne’s high school classmate – Annie and husband Johnny. They are in Sydney on a business trip and are flying home the next day (Easter Saturday). The challenge is to find a place to go. Most restaurants and usual tourist spots are closed on a Good Friday. The Easter Show was a perfect choice, except that it was raining and had dampen some of the activities. Nevertheless, Jeanne and Annie seem to have made the most of it, frantically catching up in between taking photos on the various displays.<\/p>\n

We had pizza for lunch and managed to secure seats around a wobbly table that we shared with another Chinese family-of-4. It was a bit embarrassing but the couple were gracious. I also enjoyed the light conversation with Johnny. As we wondered inside the Fresh Food Exhibit, I took some apples off the fruit landscape and had everyone sample the produce (just kidding).<\/p>\n

We didn’t get to see much of the fair and missed the usual animal show and the wood chipping demo, but we hope Annie and Johnny had some fun. Here’s a few selected photos of the day.<\/p>\n
