Perth Royal Show 2008

It all gets underway this Saturday.

The Perth Royal Show begins at the Claremont Showgrounds from this Saturday the 27th of September until Saturday the 4th of October.

The Perth Royal Show is Perth’s biggest community event attracting 400 000 visitors from the city and the country every year. It has a history spanning 170 years and serves to showcase WA agriculture, small business and entertainment.

98.5 Sonshine FM will broadcast live from the show each day.

I’m really looking forward to presenting my morning programme from the show each day of next week as well as hosting both Saturday mornings.

I’ll have a range of interesting guests and will probably get involved in some weird situations. I may even end up broadcasting from the bumper cars, from the top of the ferris wheel or some other sideshow ride.

If you’re thinking of heading to the show this year, make sure you drop in to our broadcast caravan and say hello. We’ll be just up the hill from Sideshow Alley, across the road from the Cat Pavillion. Click on our Perth Royal Show map to see where to find us.

  • Haven’t been to the show in years. Always intended to take my kids though, and since there’s a chance we may not be in Perth much longer I figure it’s now or never. We’ll be going on Monday so I’ll keep an eye out for you 🙂

  • How time flies; it seems like only yesterday that you were broadcasting from the show last year. So much has happened in 12 months. We have the NZ cup & show week coming up here in Christchurch in November, the same week as the Melbourne Cup.
