Sydney Annual Show roots from Cleveland Paddocks to Moore Park
The article traces Sydney’s Agricultural Society exhibitions from the first show at Cleveland Paddocks in 1860 to Moore Park in 1882 and beyond. It recalls notable exhibitors including the grey draught stallion Conquerer and other celebrated stock, the evolution of exhibition buildings, and the public’s yearly turnout by train and omnibus to the evolving event now famed as a city magnet.
