Royal Melbourne Show

A day out at the 154th annual Royal Melbourne Show in 2009, the longest-running and best-attended public event in the State of Victoria, combining fairground amusements with serious agricultural competitions and displays. Over eleven days the Show attracts around half a million visitors, although its role as a showcase for excellence in agriculture has to some extent been taken up by field days staged in regional centres.

These images were taken with Nikon D300 using RAW format, and are available for licensing.
