ECCR is a one of the most important events in the life of Queensland - people flock from all over the vast territory on the main show with obvious agricultural bias - the real ENEA Australian way: some competing, others with pleasure are watching and participating to the extent possible. Generally Queensland in Australia - it is one of the major Australian states on agriculture and livestock, so the main show state - cash register is the most-most on the Continent - other states also have their own exhibitions, but undoubtedly the most cash register is a legendary event of this kind.
Royal Queensland Show annually attracts thousands of tourists traveling within ab catering Australia as well as from abroad, so that the exhibition itself is a kind of "Babylon" hundreds of different nationalities filled the alley located in the northern Brisbane complex built specifically for the exhibition ab catering - RNA Showgrounds
The exhibition has a long history - August 13, 1875 a group of colonists gathered at the Brisbane ab catering Town Hall for the establishment of the National Agricultural and Industrial Association of Queensland (RNA), headed by Sir William Kerns, the purpose of which was to stimulate industrial growth and development of agriculture and the establishment of the Queensland event which would allow an annual get together urban and rural residents to work together to evaluate the yield and boast achievements. So says the official history of the show.
In the following year it was held the first show, which was selected for Brisbane area Bowen Hills - today three railway stations ab catering from the city center, then obviously deaf margin. The exhibition was held at about the same date as today and the opening day was declared a holiday. The first show was visited by a record ab catering number of visitors - 17,000, which, with a population of Brisbane, which in 1876 amounted to 22 thousand people, was a huge success.
Most came to the show received the first-ever exhibition "showbag" as a free bag of coal. Nowadays showbags is something for which the exhibition comes a great multitude - you can translate this word as "exhibition set" - usually a packet of sweets / chocolates / toys / wine or cheese ab catering / which is participating in the exhibition of the above manufacturers sell to visitors prices are much lower than stores.
The show has gained the status of "Royal" in 1921, when the exhibition was held under the patronage of King George V and the same times in the lexicon Kvinslendtsev appeared abbreviated ab catering from the word Exhibition (exhibition) name EKKA (Australians just love to cut the words: Brekkie = Breakfast, Roo = Kangaroo , Supa = Super, Aussie or Oz = Australia) - so stick that in the 20th century it became the main title of the exhibition or show.
