The Sunbury Agriculture Show put on a spectacular for the ages at the weekend.

It was the 99th anniversary of the show and thousands of people gathered at Sunbury Recreation Reserve to take in all its wonders.

Excited children got to pat furry and feathered animals at the animal farm, while thrillseekers hopped aboard the carnival rides.

Show favourites such as the dog high jump and dog dash proved to be real crowd-pleasers.

Show secretary Sandie Braun thanked the show’s team for putting on a magnificent event.

“We have a very small committee who runs the show,” she said.

“We’re all very dedicated and we have worked very hard to put on a good show. It’s a real team effort.”
