Well the Ekka is a few hours from finishing and an excellent Ekka tip falls in to my lap. I’ve been told by a reliable source that if you purchase an RNA membership for around $50 a year you can get in to the ekka as many times as you like without paying for it! It also includes free parking for anything that is on at the RNA showgrounds throughout the year including the Ekka. You also get to sit in the members stand. Considering that ticket entry is $20 for an adult and some parking is $25 then it sounds like a bit of a bargain. Something to consider for next year anyway.

How I wish I was going to the Ekka,
I’d wear a coat with a bit of checker,
Eat lots of burgers with bits of pepper
and puke up heaps with coloured flecker
Alas I won’t be as I’m stuck here
But on my b’day I’ll send a cheer
for the rels in Oz we’ll drink beer
and puke up heaps and be queer
that’s a really good tip, seeing as I’m a bit of an Ekka fan..tho this year, I just couldn’t justify wasting all my money on showbags, esp after paying $25 for parking! The Elvis rock and roll tribute made out of coffee beans in the fruit pavillion, was a def winner for me this year! as was the home made choc brownies from the nanna stall 😉
Happy Birthday Kerri-Anne! Hope you are taking some photos to put up on Flickr. 😉 In the meantime you can torture yourself with memories of of the ekka by checking out this flickr ekka photoset.
