The show must go on despite the weather

THE HOPE for the Walls Show had been for the clouds to lift and the sun to break through but unfortunately Saturday turned out to be one of the wetter days in this grey and dreary summer.

However, Westside folk tried to make the best of it with more people seen in the sheds and tents admiring the home bakes and flower arrangement than outside among the livestock.

Thanks to photographer Dave Donaldson for putting on his waterproofs to share some impressions from the Walls Show.
