EKKA as it’s commonly known around here for the last 135 years. The showground are on prime real estate, just a few kilometres from the CBD. They are changing it a bit and putting in a few apartment blocks, shopping area & restaurants which will become part of the EKKA when the show is on. They will have to put up with a full EKKA show each August as the EKKA is not moving at all and any extra events during the year as it’s hired out for events too! It will take time to make everyone happy but they will not kill the show. I didn’t see the new plans for the grounds as yet! I do know that I wouldn’t travel to another area if they did move it.





This picture is of the show bag pavilion which was to be pulled down this year so it may not be around much longer.


This one is of one the streets at show time. Only one main road is closed during the show. Others are more like side streets within the showgrounds.

This one is antique farm machines with the small children sideshow ally in the background.

The main one takes up a quarter of the showgrounds and can be expensive. So far I haven’t ventured into that area and some years I never get that far!
