Took a day trip today to see the Dalgety Show, a typical small country town show. Dalgety was the original site selected for Australia's Capital in 1904 but the site was changed in 1908 to Canberra as the New South Wales politicians wanted the capital closer to Sydney. Dalgety was almost exactly halfway between Sydney and Melbourne while Canberra is 150km closer to Sydney.
