THE EKKA YAY! [All day Thursday and into night]

It's the first day of the Royal Exhibition! Come one, come all, ride the rides, eat fairy floss and dagwood dogs, corn on the cob on a stick and waffle tubes filled with cream. Sausage on a bun, butter sandwiches, chiko rolls, barbecue ribs - if it's chock full of bad for you Australian goodness, you'll likely find it here.

Finish your repast with a strawberry ice cream (the cone is filled with strawberry pieces, topped with strawberry ice cream, which is topped with cream, which is topped with a strawberry) as you wander through the exhibits (maybe picking up a pair of genuine Ugg boots), hit sideshow alley and win a giant teddy bear, visit the fresh food pavillion for delicious food and even better wine (lots of tasting and free samples), wander through the various animal barns and see the best of the best on display.

When you're done for the day, head on over to the Showbag Pavillion and load up on goodies, before you hop the train back to the city to snag a CityCat back to Fandom!

(Don't forget Brisbane's hottest Fireys will be on hand, selling calendars filled with shirtless firemen, all proceeds to benefit charity. And if you ask nicely, they'll even sign their photo.)
