@joannaholman I spent a lot of time at Victorian shows when I was a kid in the late 60s and early 70s, it always looked like incredibly hard work, setting up, then packing up and moving on.

My dad, who was an amateur boxer in Frankston in the late 40s, took me in to the boxing tent at the Dandenong Show probably around 1969. Thank goodness he didn't jump into the ring, but I remember the smell to this day. What a way to make a living.
