Ekka

Today we went to the Ekka, the Queensland equivalent of the Suffolk Show. We pitched up about 9.30am and somehow made it through the alley of fairground rides and stalls before watching some horses for a while doing dressage (according to Nicole) and wandering around amongst the farm animals which pood a lot, and smelt pretty bad, but were quite cuddly in a sort of stupid way.

There was an incident at a whip demonstration where Eloise went AWOL and had to be retrieved before she was whipped and then some fun and games with a children's entertainer.

All in all the ladies held up well, Nicole had just come off nights and hadn't had any sleep and Eloise made it though til 2pm although things were getting a little fractious.
