2026 Sydney Royal Easter Show
Photo Competition


1)  In a 2024-December bushwalk,
     John Graham took this photo, depicting a
     Megadolomedes australianus
     (Giant Water Spider).
- Just so that there is no misunderstanding ...
  The giant spider is not me ... ok 😊

Location: A Gerringong Creek waterfall
                 Unofficially known as Pensions Falls
                 Budderoo NP, NSW, Australia
Date: 2024-December-05

Trip report and photos of the bushwalk are here:

2)  John Graham submitted the above
     for a photo competition in the
     2025 Sydney Royal Easter Show.
- It was displayed in the 2025 Easter Show's
  Arts & Crafts Pavilion.

Unfortunately, the photo didn't win a prize 😭



3)  I attended the 2025 Easter Show.
- Complete with the same outfit as in John's photo
  😊
- And ...

4)  ... And submitted the above
     for the photo competition
     in the 2026 Easter Show.
- It was displayed in the 2026
  Arts & Crafts Pavilion.

5)  Zooming to my photo on the display board.

Unfortunately, the photo also didn't win a prize 😭



6)  In retrospect, I should have submitted
     this picture instead.
- It may win the 1st prize 🙂

7)  But I think all the previous photos lack colour.
- So I asked ChatGPT to give me
        • a red shirt
        • a red hat
        • and red gloves
- I'll submit this picture to the 2027 Easter Show.
- I bet this one will win the 1st prize 😀😀😀
