Ekka - outside

I've been looking forward to blogging about the Ekka (Brisbane's agricultural show) so I'm definitely stoked to finally share my pictures!  As per normal, I took way too many photos so I'm going to divide them up into, outside, inside, side show alley and night time :)

I thought I'd start off today with the outside shots - we were blessed with the most summery day ever, which is weird because it's August here in Australia and that means we're still in Winter. Anyway no complaints from me as Summer is my favourite season!

I love that cheeky cowboy checking out that girl, well I'm checking out you buster :P

Maryborough - Mary Poppins Parade

The parade was so much fun and purely by accident I landed myself in a prime photographic position :)

Yay for Mary Poppins!

By the way if you are wondering about the connection between Maryborough and Mary Poppins,

I'll let wiki explain,

"Maryborough is the birthplace of P.L.Travers, author of the Mary Poppins books, who moved to Bowral at age eight. Her father managed a bank in the building where she was born. This is in the centre of town and still in use, no longer as a bank but as a retail shop. A life-size bronze statue of Mary Poppins, as P.L. Travers described her, complete with umbrella was erected outside the old bank premises in 2005. It is now one of Maryborough's most famous and photographed icons".

The funny thing is that I never saw the statue, I guess there was just too many people around!
