Summary |
"The book not only tells the history of the RAS, it is also a visual kaleidoscope of the Society's many-sided activites and the vital roles it has played in the economy and culture of our state. The myriad features of the annual show are covered with documentary photographs featuring woodchopping, horses, cattle, sheep, poulty, as well as the ever-popular displays of art, flowers, wine and food, sideshow alley and the ubiquitous showbags. Beautifully illustrated and informative, the book will be a joy to all whose visits to the Royal Easter Show are remembered with deep affection." -- Back cover. |
