Today is the Cairns Show People's open day. Similar to a large country fair, the Cairns Show offers plenty for all different people,, from the animal shows to petting barns, to Show Bags packed full of goodies for small kids and big kids alike. (I will be buying the Darrell Lea Chocolate show bag - mmm Yum). Try your hand on a ride on the roller coaster or bumper cars, This year brings many new rides to excite and thrill. The Cairns show is held in the Show Grounds which border Mulgrave Road and Severin Street. Opening at 9.00am and closing at 9.00pm with a spectacular fireworks culmination at 8.30pm. If I may make a suggestion,, head over to the strawberry's and cream pavillion held inside the DeJarlais pavillion (inside showgrounds) to try some yummy locally grown tablelands fresh strawberry's and Dairy Farmers fresh cream - a hit with everyone!! You can catch a local bus or taxi from the centre of the mall in Cairns CBD that will take you to the showgrounds or if your feeling fit,,, perhaps a 30 minute walk from the Mall :)
Its a bit windy out on the reef at the moment with wind gusts reaching 20 knotts and upwards in some locations, make sure you ask if your pick of boats has a good location to head to on such a windy day, to avoid sea sickness and obtain best visibility!!
Have a Great Show Day All !!
