Yesterday we went to the Big Gig- an event organised to raise money to charity. It was held at a raceway (horses) and they had free rides, face painting and some free food and entertainment. Sounded REALLY great but I forgot that Brisbane has a lot of other people who ALSO like to experience this sort of thing lol!
There were people absolutely EVERYWHERE and you had to line up (sometimes for a loooong time) for EVERYTHING! The kids still got to have a ride each (Conor 2) and they got to play the slot cars a few times so they were reasonably happy. Conor went totally feral when we were waiting for the jumping castle-he thought that he should be able to just march to the front of the line and get straight on! He just freaked out when we had to wait.... and wait.... and wait.... and wait-for about 40 minutes! He was happy when he finally got his turn though, thankfully! He went on the Merry go round too, luckily the wait wasn't quite as long for that!
Still can't complain too much-it was free and free rides don't come along too often and free doughnuts and free fairy floss..........
Photos to come!
