Sydney Royal Easter Show Kicks Off



THE Sydney Royal Easter Show kicks off today with new shows, news rides and more showbags than ever.

The show will feature 13,000 animals, 29,000 competitive entries and pump an estimated $500 million into the state's economy.

A record 331 showbags have been revealed with 130 showbags under $10 to help the family budget.

The Wild Ride of Cobb & Co will be the centrepiece of the Main Arena Spectacular each night.

The new production is a tribute to those who delivered mail, passengers, gold and supplies to the regions from 1854 to 1924, organisers say.

The show will also feature the new act Lumberjack Show, Australia's tallest steer, international rodeo as well as old favourites including woodchop, the Grand Parade and the animal nursery.

About one million people are expected to attend the show at Sydney Olympic Park.
