We Get Around

Easter Show, NSW

Another weekend rolled around and with this one a friend from work had his last day. A group of us headed over to the new bowling alley on Darling Harbour and did our best to end the lives of ten pins. However, without any dinner my Friday was over all too quickly for my liking and had to pike early.

Saturday was spent in some chilled fashion and for the evening time, Lauren and I headed out to Camden to check out a restaurant I would soon be shooting some photo's in. We checked out the town before dinner and had a quick drink in one of the pubs. Enzo's served me up an awesome Scotch Fillet and some great sorbet dessert too!

With Sunday, I finally got to get a weekend stop at an awesome book store in the city called KinoKinuya, Japanese and packed with just about everything you could ask for from a printed media store. I picked up a couple of titles and then after some O'Portos for lunch, we headed out to the Easter Show at HomeBush.

The show has been a Sydney tradition for quite some time... it's a kind of harvest festival celebration where farmers get to show off their prized livestock (before putting them on a Sunday dinner plate I presume?), fresh produce and all manner of handicrafts etc. There's also places to see baby animals run free around a mock barn, live music, food halls, kids halls and a fairground.

We checked out most of that stuff, and ended the evening around the brightly lit thrill rides. We hit up the RollerCoaster and felt shaken but not too stirred, then smashed the hell out of all and sundry on the bumper cars and then finally went big (ish) and went on some crazy upside-downy, twisty turny ride... which was fun for about 60seconds, before we realised lunch was on its way back with a vengeance.

Sitting down on the tarmac back to back, we decided that perhaps those rides should be best enjoyed on an empty stomach in future...
