SYDNEY SHOWGROUND:

The massive Sydney Showgrounds site, which borders Centennial Park, Anzac Parade and Paddington was the home of the Sydney Royal Easter Show from the turn of the century and the city's main exhibition venue in more recent times. The Sydney Showgrounds was home to the Royal Agricultural Society's Sydney Royal Easter Show for 115 years. Now redeveloped, the site has been totally refurbished and re-vitalised as one of Sydney's leading entertainment areas.
