At the show

Farm machinery exhibit at Bellinger River Agricultural Show

Most country towns have a local show, organised and staffed by hardworking show committees. These events showcase the community's produce, talent and community spirit.

The BeginningAccording to Pioneering in the Bellinger Valley the Bellinger River Agricultural Association was formed 1880 and presented the first Bellingen Show at Fernmount in 1881.
On the ninth day of May 1985 the association became an incorporated public company and the Bellinger River Agricultural Society Limited was born. The 100th Show was held in 1988 and the Society is still presenting this historic event today. From: http://www.bellingenshow.com.au/about.html
