Dramatic changes at the Royal Brisbane Show, resulted in only half the normal number of Illawarra entries which would have been disappointing for Judge, Michael Tuhan from Victoria. Hopefully with the completion of the new facilities, the 2019 show will see numbers return to their normal level. Dry, harsh conditions also impacted on numbers however quality was still high.
