Perth Royal Show 2012

Let the show begin.

The Perth Royal Show begins at the Claremont Showgrounds today and runs until next Saturday the 6th of October.

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

Thanks to the State Government’s support of Australian Year of the Farmer, all children aged 12 years and under will enjoy free entry to the 2012 IGA Perth Royal Show when accompanied by an adult.

A new addition to the show this year is the Perth Royal Show App which will help you find your way around the show and plan for a great day out.

98five Sonshine FM is broadcasting live from the show during the week days so I’ll be down there for a big chunk of the show.

I’m really looking forward to presenting my Morning Café radio programme, 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m., Monday to Friday next week.

I’ll have a range of interesting guests and will probably get involved in some interesting situations.

If you’re thinking of heading to the show this year, make sure you drop in to our broadcast centre and say hello. We’re be overlooking the main arena right next to the Members’ Grandstand.

Broadcasting from the show instead of our Como studios will almost double the distance I’ll have to cycle which will be great training for our cancer ride coming up in a few weeks.
