Appearing at the Show will be Vince Gelonese, A Minor Groove, Dave O’Brien, and Leanne Melmoth.

 | Meet a Llama Display What is about 6 foot tall, soft & cuddly with soft brown eyes & long eyelashes? It is likely that you may never have seen a llama - they are rare – and, no they are not the same as alpacas! The NSW/ACT Branch of the Llama Assn of Aust is providing the first llama exhibit this year at the Canberra Royal, so you will have a rare opportunity to meet and learn about these wonderful creatures. There are only 1500 registered llamas in Australia! Enter our "Caption Competition" "Guess the Weight of the Llama Competition", and (only on Saturday) learn to draw a llama in 2 minutes! Their gentle nature and laid back attitude to life make them an ideal companion. They enjoy a scratch and cuddle, and as they are unlikely to kick or bite, are trustworthy with children and the aged making them an ideal animal for pet therapy – as one student at a workshop commented – “they are very Zen – aren’t they? |
