Mrs McLean, Mr Hurley and Cocker Spaniel at Dog show, Brisbane, 1946

    The origin of Ekka The first 'Royal' Show was held in 1921, when the Association was granted the prefix under warrant from His Majesty King George V. Since then, the shortened name 'Ekka' has replaced 'Exhibition' in the Queensland vernacular, indicating locals' affection for the show. Ekka has since been held every year with only three exceptions - in 1919 due to the Spanish Flu epidemic, in 1942 when the grounds were used as a World War II staging depot and in 2020 due the the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.

    The best-looking and behaving dog wins. Last-minute preparations before the dog show started.

Dog wading in the Balonne River, St George, Queensland

    Dogs love water, most of them.
  • Vesna Verencevic said:
    I do not know what kind of dog is in the photo but here is some info about St George. Situated on the Balonne River, St George is a town of beautiful gardens, streetscapes and tranquil river walkways. The hot days and rainy summers make for stunning fields of native wildflowers. Amateur astronomers will love the dark skies out here, allowing the stars of the Milky Way to appear in full brilliance.
