You've never heard of Burnie show??

not surprised, Burnie is our nearest city, each year they host a big show, you know, animals and prize winning cows, rides on things that make one vomit, etc.

2 days ago I learned that they were having tents and displays featuring various countries, one being Scotland, but they had nothing to fill the tent with.

Graham springs into action and today I set up a display of Scottish flags, info about the local Pipe Band, new World Celts, Bravehearts Tasmania and an interactive thing where men can come and try on a kilt for the first time, have their photo taken etc.

might get a few converts to kilts.

It opens in the morning and I'll be manning the display for the next two days and talking to folk about kilts and all things Scottish.

more later..
