Must’ve been one of Russia’s demands in the cyber attack- get the bear back on air!
I’ll be there on the 7th.
I just noticed the Channel 13 10 Shake signs in the second screenshot. Nice of Nine to support a struggling competitor.
Of course both Network Ten and Nickelodeon (some of their characters can be seen in the caps above) being Show sponsors is a major reason why a fair bit of 10 Shake signage can be seen in the animal nursery!
Still expecting Nine News to have the highest quality/rating Easter Show coverage though.
What are we missing in regards to this entire post? An in joke or something?
Chris Uhlmann?
So there’s our confirmation of the bear.
Sometimes I carry on like a bear with a sore head.
But I’m not a freaking bear. For starters, I’m not that hairy, and I wear pants in public.
Plus maybe they can get old Big Dog from Newcastle to cover it.
Also I have not been to the Easter Show since around 2009 when I was only around 9 turning 10. The reason why I do not go each year is not only how expensive it is to go but also crowd anxiety, combined with a possible outbreak of B117 in case someone went there from Byron or SEQ.
Now that would be awesome. Although, they should’ve sent him to the Newcastle Show. I’d love to get a photo with him, to be quite frank.
That’s fair enough. It does get crowded, people seem to think the world revolves around them and don’t give people enough space. As well as that, it is getting progressively expensive. The trick is, if you know you are definitely going, pick a date, base everything around it and get in on the early bird pricing. I used to get free tickets by being a Thunder member, so that bit helped.
April Fool’s Day jokes. There used to be a dedicated thread for these, but I suppose it only gets populated once a year. Here’s a good one from Weatherzone:

Why don’t they look after their old mate ECC.
Give me millions of dollars in subsidies. Don’t know what for, but just give me the money.
You’d think Tassie would be encouraging people to go down south.
Once the border closures are done with you can come and explore all our maps of Tasmania!
Already been there, exposed myself, got fined, that’s enough.
Re, last night’s predictions: I was 60% right.
But remembering that Sarina Andaloro covered the 2019 Easter Show for Seven, one wonders why she wasn’t chosen to cover the lead-up. And if there was any regional network to only cover the event with a brief RVO, I’m sure most here would’ve picked WIN before Prime7!
We now return you to regularly scheduled randomness!
The exact details have faded away over time, but wasn’t there a really good one done by the NSW RTA (as it was still known as back then) around 15 years ago?
