WA on show

Well it was me and Jacko's turn to have a trip into Perth and this time we were going to the Perth Convention centre to see the WA on show Exhibition. It's held over four days during the Labour Day long weekend, and the best thing is it's all FREE!








The whole thing is promoting things around Perth and the rest of WA, with stalls that cover The new railway network, retail businesses, local and state government departments, the Army, Police, and my favorite one Tourism from different townships like Albany, Busselton, Swan Valley and many more. In this photo Jacko is hanging out with one of Midlands street sculpture people at the Midland Redevelopment Authority stand which was a pretty cool one.









Here Jacko was watching the model trains exhibition set up by the Model Railway Association which set up a real beaut little township and railway as you can see. He thought seeing Thomas the tank was the best thing, but all up they had just over 300 flamin' stalls so we were pretty stuffed after four hours of walking about.




So when we got a chance to sit the bum down we took it they had a movie going about Perth so we just had a rest break and then back into it. But this time it was Jacko's turn to have some fun with the free kiddie rides......





First we hit the bouncy castle which as you can see is actually a bouncy ship, which inside you have a few slides and things you can hit and tackle. He loved it and after a fair while he went to the next one....





To the motor bikes, where he just loved it, first he just took it nice and slow but after a short while he was spinning it around flat out just his mom! and bumping into the other riders..... like I said just like his mom! and just when dad was stuffed from the queuing up we had one more to go....







Yes a go on a real ridge didge flying UFO! This photo was taken just before takeoff...... three two one ..... blast off!!!!











wwwooooowwww..... He went about a metre and a half into the sky, how scary and he loved it. So after a few more rides we hit the stalls again to collect more info pamphlets, pens and free bags with balloons, lollies, and different stuff. Then it was time to hit McDonnels and a ride back home on the train, to say I was stuffed was an understatement. Fairdinkum I was knacked and happy to find a lounge at home with the cricket on the telly, what a ripper way to finish a beaut day.
(and just if ya wondering Tania took Sarah the next day so no she didn't miss out..... only Harry did! ha,ha)
