I rise today to speak about a celebratory, momentous milestone in the heart of Perth Hills, in Western Australia. It's the 125th anniversary of the Kalamunda Show. Since its inception in 1898, the event has served as the heartbeat of our heritage. It's a testament to the resilience of that community that in over a century the show was only ever silenced by the gravity of two world wars and a COVID pandemic. It returns this year for its 125th year, and visitors can experience the log chop, the sheep dog demonstrations, sideshow rides, fireworks, a stunning interactive helicopter display and a stunning vintage collection. There will be a lot going on at Kostera Oval on Friday 10 April and Saturday 11 April.

It's a rare thing for a community tradition to reach 125 years, and I take this opportunity to congratulate the Kalamunda and Districts Agricultural Society for putting on this show each year. I look forward to the weekend. I'm sure all the children in this chamber would love to go to the ag show, so I'll give them a reminder that gates open at 5pm at Kostera Oval in Kalamunda.
