Australian Amusement Fanatics

Nice pics Zamperla, courtesty of your friend of course. I thought Darwin being a capital it might have been a bit better of a line up. Looks more like a country show than a capital. Who owns the music trip? Its good to see another choas, I've only ever seen Durkins chaos. Quirindi shows on start of ...

I noticed when Hardrock was at Tamworth not long ago, that pretty much anyone was having a go at operating it.
Maybe there trying different operators. Or maybe someone could just go and ask next they see it.

Would be good to meet a few of us fanatics.

Tamworth council built a new showground a few years back named Australian Equine livestock Centre. Unfortuately at the time they didnt built a carnival area, but left an area for on to be built. Its up to the show society to bulit one there. The show society needed the old show ground to sell first ...

How many chaos rides do we have in this country? Did Watkins buy Durkins Chaos? Durkins Chaos was set up at Newcastle Show yesterday, was wondering if it was that unit they
bought. Unfortunately this year the claw was running fine, Chaos was broken down.

Merry Xmas and a ho ho ho to you all.

Great photos Huss, keep up the good work.

Welcome there Rexdragon, sounds you and Huss will get along just fine.

Drove past maitland showground today, to find Haunted Hotel an a few food vans and several caravans parked up.
I know Haunted Hotel did the christmas holidays at Nelson Bay two years ago. Not sure on last year, maybe it could be headed that way
this year.

Sounds like it should be a good show. Good to see Hardrock there.
