This news segment is a fine example of a feel-good story with a hook to a local event that typically screens at the end of a news bulletin.

This clip from a Seven News Brisbane special includes early footage from the Royal Queensland Show, or Ekka ('Exhibition') for short.

This episode of Sydney Stories with Warren Fahey takes a look at the Sydney Show – where the country comes to town – and especially the curios of Sideshow Alley.

Take a look at what makes Brisbane unique: from a house in a bridge pylon to Ekka and State of Origin memories.
