From colourful birds and vibrant art to thrilling rides and live music, not forgetting the all-important show bags, the show has it all.

Pam Hamill has been working at the Royal Darwin Show since 1992 and is the co-ordinator of the Rotary Hall.

“There’s a lot of excitement. The people just want to get back out and do what they normally do,” she said. “Last year was virtual and that’s not the same. It’s really important to the exhibitors to be able to properly showcase their work and we get that again this year.”
