Titan the Robot at the Perth Royal Show

One of the great attractions at this year’s Perth Royal Show is Titan the Robot.

Titan is a massive robot which puts on several shows each day, entertaining children and adults alike. I’ve had a chance to see Titan’s performance a few times over the past few days.

Titan’s live performances can draw crowds of thousands but not content with this Titan likes to pop up on television as often as he can. Titan loves to be in the limelight and has travelled to every corner of the British Isles and to many European countries including Ireland, Spain, France, Czech Republic, Belgium, Denmark, Sweden and Germany.

Titan has also covered much of the globe, appearing before disbelieving audiences in China, Vietnam, USA, Thailand, Dubai, Oman, Doha, Saudi Arabia, Abu Dhabi and Hong Kong.

Titan has a habit of making the headlines when visiting counties abroad and has been on the front cover of the Gulf News, the Saigon Times, the Irish Times and the Beijing Daily one of the biggest selling newspapers in China. Titan has been in just about every publication you can think of in the UK from the Daily Mail to Truckers Magazine!

You can watch just a small part of Titan’s show in the video below.

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.

Show’s Over

Life is a ‘little’ more normal this week. I spent last week broadcasting from the Perth Royal Show.

The video above gives you a very small taste of my week. If I included everything I saw and did you’d be watching videos all week so I’ve distilled a few moments from the show into less than 90 seconds.
