Toodyay Ag Show – simply perfect (Nov 2025 edition)

Sean Hefferon

THE 2025 Toodyay Agricultural Show drew thousands of visitors on what was a sunny October day.

That the show was a great success is no small achievement, given the shortage of volunteers to put the event together.

The show itself, a highlight of the Toodyay community calendar, featured a range of exhibits, livestock displays and entertainment, attracting locals and visitors alike.

The Julimar Volunteer Bushfire Brigade were kept busy as attentive children (unlike a former politician) were happy to hold a hose – and in this instance used the water gushing out of the firehose to knock over witches’ hats, much to the delight of their parents as they watched on.

Among those who made the journey to the country show were Ian and Margaret, who travelled by train from Perth to attend.

“We always look forward to coming to the Toodyay Agricultural Show and have done so for years,” said Margaret.

“Catching the train up is a bonus as we get to also see the Avon Valley.”
