We learned to use the local trams by taking a trip to the Goose Fair - think Sideshow Alley from the Ekka. It was pretty quiet when we were there, it's a school day and we deliberately went before the crowds started to arrive. I suspect that on the weekend it will be packed solid!
It has all the usual sideshow things - rides and places to win so-called prizes. Many of the same old foodstuffs that you'd see at the Ekka too - burgers, hot dogs, fairy floss. However, some things you'd never see at the Ekka - you can buy 'chips and curry' (chips with curry sauce instead of gravy), and also peas - just a container of mushy peas. (I don't think I've had a meal here where peas weren't on offer!). And doughnuts, but none of this pre-cooked stuff- they cook them on the spot. One of the doughnut places offered their doughnuts as 'with or without Nutella'. I think Nutella and peas are actual food groups here:-)
We went for a ride on the Ferris Wheel:
Then, back to the city for lunch, at the Handmade Burger Co - again, really nice food.
That's all for today, just a quiet day mostly.
