I went to the School show today. I was really out of my depth with the cattle. Where I grew up there were sheep, wheat and cherries. I was amazed at how technical the judging was. Terms like "pins", "feminine qualities" and "good udder" were among the many that were new to me. I was told numbers were down. This surprised me as there seemed a lot of people when I was there. I took my son Joshua with me.
We were given a "special pass" which meant that food and refreshments were provided over lunch. Josh must have had 4 jelly slices and kept hovering around the sweets.
The big politicians were also there. Richard Colbeck (Liberal Senator), Geoff Page (Liberal candidate for Lyons) and Rene Hidding. I know Richard from the mid 90's when we did the New Enterprise Incentive Scheme together at TAFE. His career has really taken off since then. It was a bit strange to be introduced to them as a councillor by Don Thwaites. It is all a bit strange being a councillor now. I am sure the shine will wear off over time.
