The Lancefield Show animals and activities

Our town has a population of about 1200 people.

We are a small rural town that plans things together.

We had our local town show today.  It was beautiful sunny weather.

We have lots of food stalls, show bags, pig races, horse events, races, craft stalls, tractor pulls, sheep shearing, woodchopping, motorbike trials etc.

The local landcare group invited the local zoo to attend. Well it's not a normal Zoo. It's not open for the public to visit. It is an educational zoo where school aged children can go and help. They have groups of 10 each day. This is so they can spend time with the animals & teaching the children about native wildlife.
What a great idea. They even do birthday parties. How fantastic.

The ZOO that comes to YOU

They held informative talks about our local wildlife. We did have a good day.

Enjoy the photos.

A lovely Echidna. We have had one of these near our back door too. We just gave it water, let it rest & it went on its way.

A laughing kookaburra. We actually have one or two in our back yard for the 2nd year in a row. It's great to listen to.
