Perth Royal Show: Sheep shearing, wood chopping and showbag shopping dazzle on opening day
The Perth Royal Show is back for 2025 at the Claremont Showground with plenty of sunny smiley faces enjoying everything from wood chopping to showbag shopping.
Families enjoyed the golden sunshine as they explored everything this year’s Show had to offer, including face painting, and exploring the farm exhibits where West Aussies could get involved with sheep sheering.
With hundreds of activities, jaw-dropping rides and a chance to get up close and personal to some seriously cute farm animals, the inaugural Royal Perth Show is not to be missed.
