Yesterday I promised you three unusual facts about the Ekka. So here they are.

It’s been a while since I talked about Q150, but today is a good day to revisit that subject. One of the ten categories is events and festivals. Of the 15 events and festivals that made the list, I have experienced three out of the top five.
At number four is “Riverfire” which is a firework [...]
