You have to see it to believe it. It's tall, white and, at 8000sq m, so big the people standing across the other side of it look about 2cm tall. It looks like an old-fashioned big top, but its cutting-edge design means it's far from old-fashioned. It is naturally airconditioned. Cool air flows in to the pavilion from outside through a 1m gap between the walls and the roof. As the air inside heats, it rises and escapes through vents in the four peaks of the big top. The Grand Pavilion will be home New beaut: the Government Expo Pavilion and Royal Agricultural Society of Victoria office. to the best fresh produce.

LIVESTOCK PAVIUON IT'S the first building you'll see if you enter the Show through the new main gate at Epsom and Union roads and walk along the striking, multicolour-paved Grand Boule- vard, formerly known as Plummer Ave. This 10,000sq m — yes, an entire hectare — pavilion will be home to cattle, sheep and goats. Ace for space: inside the Grand Pavilion. Animal house: the lha Livestock Pavilion will house about 4000 animals. There are about 4000 animals to accommodate, all of which were once housed in six separate pavi- lions. You'll see heritage sheep breeds, the national poll dorset show, the sheep interbreed championships, dairy and beef cattle, and dairy goats. TOWN SQUARE THIS big, open lawn will be a place to relax amid the hustle and bustle.

HE'S all tuned up from his Opportunity tour and a big gig at Splendour in the Grass 2006 in July. And now you can see Pete Murray live on stage at the Show as part of the Live at Night line-up. Pete Murray is one of the headline acts It's hard to get a ticket to see Murray these days. His debut album • Feeler was a huge success and Better Days from the triple-platinum See the Sun was APRA Song of the Year. Even if you could make it to Byron Bay for Splendour, tickets were sold out long before the festival. But here's a chance close to home.
DALLAS CRANE
IT HAS been described as having a blistering riff and an infectious chorus. What will you think of Melbourne four-piece Dallas Crane's brand-new single, Curiosity? It's been out only a matter of weeks but already Curiosity is attracting plenty of attention. The single is the first track from the band's fourth studio album, Factory Girls. Rock up to the Town Square Stage at the Show and you'll be among the first to see it performed live. Dallas Crane are big news but are certainly no overnight success. They're one of the hardest-working bands in the country, slogging it out in pubs since 1996, gathering a loyal following and earning the respect of the country's top music writers. And there have been big gigs too. Homebake in 2003, Big Day Out in 2004 and as special guests of Midnight Oil in 2005. There was official industry recognition of Dallas Crane's place in Australian music with three ARIA nominations in 2004.

HE country is coming to the city for the Show and no T region will be better repre- sented than Gippsland. So how do you bring a whole slab of the state to Melbourne? You pick the best representatives of a wine industry fast forging a great reputa- tion; top dairy, meat, seafood and fruit and vegetable producers; then add tourism representatives and some top examples of innovation in agriculture. And once you've assembled that formidable line-up, you invite them to the Show to talk to people, hold tastings, give out samples, sell their products, offer fantastic prizes, ex- plain their inventions and tell every- one what a great place Gippsland is to visit.
