1. 2014 – It’s a wrap

2. Dogs and their people out enjoying the sun, stalls and sights This year’s Brimbank Animal Expo was our biggest yet with some 5,000 people attending over the day and almost as many dogs!

3. Children were kept amused with an animal farm, jumping castles, Animals of Oz, Busyfingerz crafts and a most unusual robot family who also visited the expo… Top: Animal Farm Centre: Busy Busyfingerz Right: Tubby and Lil’ Tub visit the expo

4. For the more adventurous, there was a Buckeroos Competition on the Mechanical Bull. Top: Buckeroos champ Michael shows his winning style. Right: Under 8s Buckeroos Champ Emily with Rob from sponsor Claws N Paws.

5. The small animal exhibits were held indoor: Birds, (pet) rats, rabbits and exotic cats Right: Frances Micallef with award winning bunny ‘Boomer’. A singing sensation, Frances delighted the crowd with a couple of songs. Expect to hear a lot more from Frances in future! Centre: Tricia with blue-eyed beauty Rajah Below: Matthew with Milo
