There was a strong family feel to The Curated Plate’s Asian Food Festival at Spicers Tamarind Retreat as 5 of the region’s best chefs cooked up a storm on 1 August.

Restoring old engines is the passion of the Antique Machinery Restoration Society, and these were complemented by the gleaming chrome and raw power of the lineup of modern prime movers. The skill and strength of the woodchoppers and chainsaw-wielding competitors was amazing as they split 6 posts from one log.
For a bit of activity for kids there were hobby horse rides and miniature ponies. And at night, the sideshow area was alive with the laughing clowns, kamikaze thrill ride, and an opportunity to eat pink fairy floss while watching the fireworks ... who could ask for more at the end of the annual Show Day? ...
