September is generally I favourite time in Adelaide. And the reason is simple: this is the month when the Royal Adelaide Show is held!!
This annual carnival takes place on the Wayville Showground (which is ten-minute bus ride from the city) over approximately two weeks. Stretched over the Showground are countless thrilling rides, game booths with gigantic stuffed toys as prizes, and multiple big pavilions which host dog shows, animal booths, food stores, and random yet exotic vending stalls.
This year, I went to the Show again with my high school friends on Saturday (as our annual tradition). The weather couldn’t have been more beautiful. It was such a great place to simply relax and forget about uni for once. I spent the day licking ice cream, patting the gorgeous dogs in the Dogs Pavilion, watching my friend losing on the shooting game three times in a row, shopping for show-bags and other trinkets, and we concluded the day by taking a ride on the enormous iconic fairy’s wheel (being too cowardly to try other more thrilling rides).
I can’t wait till the Show starts again next year!
