Idk about any of you. But $35 to get into the Royal Melb Show to pat and feed the sheep and goats was 100% worth the price of admission.
The piglets, deer, llamas, and rabbits were just so dang cute

It's on until Oct 6 but it is terribly expensive. Best to bring your own lunch and snacks and look at all the animals and other competitions.
Yeah, we got Tix for 35 bc we both have Health Care Cards. Otherwise it is exxy as. Still is.
Didn't get any food there, but did buy some coffees, checked out all the animals (ag shed, petting/feeding the animals) and went into most buildings. Got a show bag for Mickey, because they had a cat one, and he loves his new wand toy. And I bought a little cat ring heheh. Hopped on two rides. No regrets, and today was a good day as it wasn't too crowded at all.
Oh my god the bunnies!
They didn't say what breed they were, but I reckon they're mini lops. You can tell by their size (a bit bigger than a guinea pig), and their ears are 'loppy' hence the name. Dwarf lops are bigger versions (like what PeelerSheila posted). They're super common pets because they're very friendly and docile.
I couldn't believe they had actual deer! I did end up getting a photo of one!
I've never seen a deer in real life!
Fuck it I might go tomorrow lol
