The main arena plays host to extreme sports displays, fireworks and the Queensland pole climbing competition as well as the wood chopping championships. The Heritage Park has displays of living history, a working blacksmith, a chainsaw sculpture, sideshows and a fun park which provide entertainment for all. www.cairnsshow.com.au
