Discover the secret treasures of the Show by walking the IGA Follow the Yellow Brick Road.
The Royal Agricultural Society of WA has put together a two-hour trail which takes in the Show’s farming pavilions to show young people what country life is all about.
 | Head to the marquee next to the IGA Fresh From WA Pavilion or near Gate 10 where Yellow Brick roadies start an incredible journey around the Showground. It’s open from 9am – 5pm everyday. For $8 showgoers pick up a limited edition eco-friendly Earth Bag which contains four pieces of fruit, two healthy snack packs, a recipe book IGA Food 4 Life Kids Cook Book, Scitech maze pen and shower timer. Inside the IGA Fresh From WA Pavilion collect a Golden Eggs miniature paint set and magnet, treats from Western Potatoes, Berry Sweet Strawberry Farm, Sausage King, Girl Guides, Olympic Fine Foods and Harvey Fresh. When you get your Goulburn Valley flavoured milk drink, don’t forget to put in your entry to win a family camping package valued at $1000. |
Next stop is the Jim Horwood Pavilion where those on the trail should catch a shearing demonstration, learn about wool, get your face painted and grab a wool sample. Pick up a Pig Tales Fun Book and use the coloured pencils provided in the Tom Wilding Pavilion, enter the Pat A Pig, name the three little pigs and guess the weight of the porker and baconer competitions. Thursday is the hilarious cavy (guinea pig) racing and rabbits are hopping about on Friday and Saturday. |  |
 | A date at the Lou Giglia Dairy Pavilion is a must for a taste of Moo premium yoghurt and a sticker. Pop into the Department of Agriculture and Food Centenary Pavilion for a Buy West Eat Best stress ball before heading to The Land Experience. Jump on Pedal Power, a bike which will show how much energy it takes to run a simple household appliance plus push the button on the water-saving shower head. Get a sense of Western Australian history at Heritage Hall by sending a Morse Code message, watching the blacksmiths and seeing a milking machine in action. Last stop is the ABC Exhibition Trailer where you’ll get branded and join in an interactive radio experience. |
Remember to get a stamp in your special passport at each stop. Happy trails!
DID YOU KNOW?
 | The IGA Follow The Yellow Brick Road experience celebrates a world-first by launching the Earth Bag, a 100% eco-friendly carry bag. The unique Earth Bag is made from managed forest pulp coloured with organic dyes, turned into paper and then woven into bags. Earth Bags won’t dissolve or break if the milk leaks, are 100% biodegradable and have a useable life of about 10 to 12 months. They come in a standard size of around 35cm by 35cm. When the bags get to the stage that they need to be thrown out, you fill them with rubbish and put them in the bin. They break down naturally and go back into the earth, hence their name. |
