Brisbane & The Ekka

Yesterday we went to the Ekka in Brisbane! We had to stand up at five in the morning which was pretty early… The Ekka is a big exhibition which was originally about agricultural things but now there are beside cows, horses and sheep also rollercoaster! We went first into to the cow stall where we made a picture sitting on the bull which won a price last year! That was really funny. After that we walked around the different stalls and the house about agricultural things. We spent nearly 1 hour in the food court tasting different bread, beef, apples and other things. At a table with spicy sauces I tasted a sauce which was 10++/10 and yes it was really hot, hotter than fire!

After the food court we watched a dog show where different types of dogs were judged. One dog had so many hair in his face that we couldn’t see his eyes. He looked really funny but he didn’t win the price of his category. Our next stop was the high flyer. It’s a carousel 20m above the ground. In the first moment it was a bit scary to be 20m in the air but then we enjoyed the view over Brisbane.

After 4 hours at the Ekka we went with the train into the city centre of Brisbane. We had a walk through Queens Street which is the main street of Brisbane. We walked to the middle of one of the bridges to have a better view over the river and the “House of Performing Arts”.

Then we went back to the train station to go back to Caloundra.
