Best value showbags at Perth Royal Show 2014

By creammagazine, September 27, 2014

Yes, the Royal Show has as many downs as it has ups. The high cost of getting in… Being forced by mates to go on rides when you’ve just eaten… The pong of manure as you pass by the cattle and pig sheds… But there are some high points, including of course getting home with an armful of showbags to sort through and devour over the following weeks.

Here are 13 of Cream’s favourites this year.  Antonino Tati
