“The AIRTIME FMX team thrilled the crowd with the amazing tricks and stunts whilst the Animals of Oz Zoo gave people the opportunity to pat a crocodile, kookaburra or a snake.

“Once again, the Show Ski Team were amazing with their performances on water as they thrilled the crowd with the sensational jumps, flips, swivels, pyramids and barefoot skiing.”
