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 😊

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 ðŸ˜
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 ðŸ˜
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 😀😀😀

Post Script
Unfortunately, none of John's photos won a prize
ðŸ˜
It would help if I wear:
- Red dress
- Red Hat
- Red gloves
I think John and I should collaborate
to do just that for the 2026 Easter Show 😊
