We enjoyed a wonderful day entertaining the grandchildren at
the Sydney Family Show held at what is now called The Entertainment Quarter,
but oldies like us remember it best as the old showground, home of the Royal
Easter Show all the years we were growing up.
The Royal has now moved to Homebush Olympic venue and is exorbitantly
expensive to visit, so we opted for the free entry of the Family Show.
It wasn’t as good as the Royal, I guess you get what you pay
for. I think it was geared towards the
under twelves who were there in great quantities on the rides and games and it
would have been relatively inexpensive for their parents, but not much to
interest the adults or older children.
Our littlest grand was fascinated with the animal nursery
where she hugged a goat, had her first pony ride and her first carousel ride.
On the way out we passed the Plaster Painting Studio which looked
fun, so biggest grand and I bought a couple of plaster casts to take away and
paint later at home, of course I chose a dragon.
I thought this little dragon was sleeping but on closer
inspection, he had one wary eye open watching me.
It was relaxing, being a kid again and painting a model, I loved my plaster of paris moulds when I was a child.
Not too sure if I like him best before or after I added the iridescent medium over the bright acrylics.
