00:02From show jumping to show bags, furry friends and feathered ones, the Royal Darwin Show swinging back into action for
00:11its 75th year. Pearl this year's theme to mark the anniversary.
00:17How long did this masterpiece take you?
00:19It's probably taken me six or seven hours.
00:22More than 50,000 people expected to flock through the gates over the course of the long weekend.
00:28Northern Territory, we don't have a big show like down south in the big cities like Sydney, Melbourne, they're Royal
00:33Easter shows.
00:34It may be smaller, but it didn't disappoint. Visitors from all over coming to soak up Darwin's dry season and
00:41enjoy a taste of country life.
00:43Where are you guys from? New Zealand, Christchurch.
00:46Amazing! So what brings you to Darwin? Warmth and sunshine.
00:50It's awesome. And yeah, it's very awesome with all the new animals that there's not in Victoria.
01:00What are you going to get for lunch? There's so many options.
01:02Maybe a crocodile burger.
01:03Thrill seekers were spoiled for choice.
01:07What was that like? It felt like you were dropping. Like it hurt my belly.
01:12Yeah, and like it's best to just not look down.
01:15It was so amazing. It went so fast and we were just screaming the whole time.
01:19Others were less enthusiastic.
01:22The role of a granddad is to be dragged over as many rides against your will as you can.
01:27The Darwin show has grown a lot over the last 75 years, but some things never change.
01:33It's still a country show all about community, cute animals and having some fun in the top end sun.
01:40Time to refuel and reset before doing it all again tomorrow.
