12th september. Adelaide, festival.

So we decided to do something today, was gonna go to the festival yesterday the 11th, but i found out that wed is cheap day, we can get in for $11.

so took a little trip on the tram to somewhere justoutside adelaide called goodwood.

there it was a little walk to the fesitval, well they call it a show. but it is a fesitval to everyone else.

it had lots of farm yard animals to see and touch. the last pic on this post, is called a silkie. very strange never seen anything like it, it looks kind of like a chicken, but is actually bright coloured at the example shows. looks like they are dyed to me, but i guess this could be real !!!!

so after looking at all the animals, we went to the champion wood cutting tournament, which was pretty good, another first for me. the champion, got through a 40cm trunk of tree in 18sec's, which let me tell you is bloody quick and impressive.

there was a few rounds, the normal champions, then a over 60's champions, and then another one but im not sure what this one was about. all doing the same type of wood and same thickness. the over 60's were pretty impressive, most where over 70 that was competing, and i think the fastest one there was only about 30sec.

next we walked round the fair, there was some pretty decent rides. bigger then what we have in england, well ok basingstoke anywhere. and basingstoke is the centre of the universe !!!!

so i didn't actually go on any, as i was the only one willing, maybe i should of gone anyway but i really wasn't that bothered, been on bigger ride in USA so who needs oz rides :) lol.

then we stood infront of the cocacola stand which was had these 3 blokes from zimbabwe, or somewhere, doing a acrobat show. they were pretty good, but i had seen a acrobat show in china and these boys just didn't cut the mustard for me after the chinese show. good luck boys.

then strolled around for a while. spent pretty much the afternoon there, back to hostel for dinner. picked up some steak and chips on the way home at the supermarket.

then to bed. the only thing to do in the evening round here is to drink, and we all don't wanna waste i money doing that everyday. so sleep it is then.
