Re: The Ekka

Totally in my opinion only (oh and the opinion of my daughters) waste of time and effort getting there. We did it once to see if it was worth it and decided it definitely wasn't. Stacks of people walking aimlessly; those ghastly battered hotdog things on a stick, and as for the shed full of so called goodie bags - I still have nightmares.

You might like it though

Re: The Ekka

Been once, total rip off. You pay to get in and all that covers is looking at some cow. You pay extra for the rides, then get ripped off for the show bags.

Go to dreamworld instead !

Sorry

I'll be doing so-called 'stakeholder engagement' - the QLD Government bought out the company that is one of my clients a few weeks ago, and suddenly I'm having to flog my project to the public... Still beats having to do proper work though
