The Show is back for another year – it’s a carnival with amusement park rides, animals, food, and fireworks . But there’s exactly one reason that every Australian kid gets excited about the Show: showbags, which are plastic bags with candy, toys, and games. You can see the showbag guide here – the classic Bertie Beetle $2 showbag is an old favourite of many Aussies.
