Released at the 2012 Brisbane Ekka, the Economic and Social Impact Study of Australian Agricultural Shows found that shows create tangible economic and social benefits for communities, particularly the educational, competitive and cultural experiences they provide. The study also compared agricultural show attendance to attendance at other cultural experiences and events, and found that 25% of Australians went to a Show – third behind cinemas (65%) and zoos/aquariums (35%). “The study found that, generally, 2012 Royal Adelaide Show crowds agricultural shows improve people’s The study found that the economic benefits of Shows included: quality of life and they build social • The community attending and spending money at the Show; capital within local communities and • Sponsors promoting their business and product; regions in Australia,” states the report. • Exhibitors selling their produce and services; The extensive study also found that agricultural • Community organisations raising funds at the Show; shows provide enormous opportunities for • Showmen, competitors and tourists visiting and staying in towns putting on a Show. volunteerism, with the value of Show volunteers However, despite the positive findings, the study also found that the Show movement in general is in Queensland alone estimated at $84 million. facing several challenges, with overall visitor numbers in decline and fewer Shows operating. “The results estimate that the number of Australians and visiting tourists who attended a Show in 2011 was 5.9 million, the equivalent of approximately 26% of the Country’s population,” the report states. It goes on to say: “This figure represents a significant decrease in the number attending shows from 11 years ago when research found that 10.7 million visitors attended Shows, the equivalent of 56% of the population in 2000.” The report lists several ways to maintain and increase the economic and social impacts of agricultural shows, including building the capacity of

The first thing that has probably struck you with regard to this Bulletin is the magnificent illustration of the Red Back Kingfisher by wildlife artist Christopher Pope on the cover. Australia is very fortunate to have both a diverse and beautiful range of birdlife. Christopher’s skill enabled him to capture the incredible detail of the Australian Kingfishers issue due out 26 October. I believe this is one of his best stamp issues to date, and possibly my favourite of 2010.
