Ekka 2009

Although government warning about staying home if possible because of swine flu, it didn't stop us to go back to Ekka once more after a year. Every year (3 years now) we go to Ekka festival to buy show bags, taste foods from Woolworths food pavilion, visit the animals/education exhibition and play some games in the yogoville alley.
