FIVE BEST THINGS ABOUT SHOW’S NEW HOME

THE COST

It sounds too good to be true but entry to the show really is free. For everyone. For the first time in history.

ANIMALS

The show’s move to Southport means it can finally welcome back its full equestrian program, cattle, goats and dog show at Owen Park.

IT’S ON THE TRAM TRACK

The show has never been as well served by public transport as it will be this year. The show’s venues — Owen Park, Broadwater Parklands, Australia Fair and the Southport CBD — all have light rail stops nearby.

MORE RIDES

Broadwater Parklands allows Sideshow Alley more room for more rides, including the new nightclub-inspired XSCREAM Soundwave.

THE VIEW

Residents in surrounding highrises will enjoy a bird’s eye view of the nightly Luminocity light show and fireworks display.
